Directions : Read the following questions carefully and choose the right answer. Pointing to a boy in a photograph, a girl said, "His father's mother is the mother-in-law of my brother's mother." How is the person in photograph related to the girl?
Options
- AMaternal Uncle
- BGrandfather
- CBrother
- DPaternal Uncle
Correct answer
C. Brother
Step-by-step solution
Girl's brother's mother means girl's 'mother'. Mother-in-law of girl's mother means her grandmother. Mother of the father of the boy in photograph is his 'grandmother'. So, the boy's grandmother is also girl's grandmother. This clearly means that the boy is related to the girl as her 'Brother.' Hence option (C) is the correct answer.
