Question

Introducing Madhan, a woman said, "His wife is the only daughter of my mother". How is Madhan related to the woman?

  1. A. Husband (Correct answer)
  2. B. Brother
  3. C. Grand father
  4. 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.
