Question
If A is the son of B, and B is the brother of C, how is C related to A?
- A. Father
- B. Uncle (Correct answer)
- C. Brother
- D. Cousin
Correct Answer
Option B — Uncle
Detailed Solution & Explanation
The correct answer is Uncle.
Key Points
- A is the son of B, so B is A's parent.
- B is the brother of C, so C is a sibling of A's parent.
- A parent's brother is an uncle, so C is A's uncle.
Additional Information
- The question gives C's relation to B, not C's gender directly — but *brother of C* fixes B as male and the offered answer as uncle.
- Terminology: the father's or mother's brother is an uncle, their sister an aunt, and their children are cousins.
- Draw a two-line family tree — parents above, children below — rather than tracking the relations in prose.
