Rahul told Anand "yesterday I defeated the only brother of the daughter of my grandmother". Whom did Rahul defeat?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Father
A long relation is solved from the far end back towards the speaker, one link at a time.
“My grandmother” — Rahul’s grandmother; taking her as his father’s mother.
“The daughter of my grandmother” — a daughter of his father’s mother, that is, his father’s sister, Rahul’s aunt.
“The only brother of” that daughter — the grandmother’s only son, who is Rahul’s father.
If the grandmother were his mother’s mother, the person would be his mother’s only brother, that is, his maternal uncle, which is not among the options. So the answer is Father.
