Question
Introducing Madhan, a woman said, "His wife is the only daughter of my mother". How is Madhan related to the woman?
- A. Husband (Correct answer)
- B. Brother
- C. Grand father
- D. Son
Correct Answer
Option A — Husband
Detailed Solution & Explanation
The correct answer is Husband.
Key Points
- The speaker is a woman, and *the only daughter of my mother* is the speaker herself.
- So Madhan's wife is the speaker — which makes Madhan her husband.
Additional Information
- The trap is to read *the only daughter of my mother* as a sister. Because the speaker is female and her mother has only one daughter, that daughter must be the speaker.
- In blood-relation questions, always resolve the innermost description first and substitute it back into the sentence before assigning a relation.
