In a family of eight persons, there are two couples, each having two children. B and D are brothers and each has two children. E is the aunt of A, who is the cousin brother of C. C is the sister of H, who is the cousin brother of G. F is the wife of B. How is H related to F?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Nephew
The eight persons are two couples and their four children. The clues are placed one by one:
B and D are brothers, and each has two children, so B and D are the husbands of the two couples.
F is the wife of B, so the first couple is B and F.
E is the aunt of A. E is not B’s wife, so she is D’s wife, and A is a child of B and F.
A is the cousin brother of C, so C belongs to the other family: C is a daughter of D and E.
C is the sister of H, so H is a son of D and E.
H is the cousin brother of G, so G is the second child of B and F.
H is the son of D, who is the brother of F’s husband B. So H is F’s nephew.
