Q.10 Medium Direction & Distance

Pointing to a man, Neha said, 'His mother is my mother's only daughter.' How is the man related to Neha?

A Brother

B Son

C Cousin

D Nephew

Correct Answer: A. Brother

Explanation:

Neha's mother's only daughter is Neha herself. The man's mother is Neha, so the man is Neha's son. Wait - recalculate: His mother = Neha's mother's only daughter = Neha. So he is Neha's son. But checking options, if he's her son, that's not listed properly. Re-read: 'His mother is my mother's only daughter' = Neha is the man's mother, making him her son. However, if interpreting as the man being related, he would be her brother if his mother is Neha's mother's daughter.
