Question

Pointing to a girl, a woman says, 'She is the daughter of my mother's only daughter.' How is the girl related to the woman?

1. A. Daughter (Correct answer)
2. B. Daughter-in-law
3. C. Cousin
4. D. Sister

Correct Answer

Option A — Daughter

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is Daughter.

Key Points

• Resolve the innermost description first: my mother's only daughter — the speaker is a woman and her mother has just one daughter, so that is the speaker herself.
• The girl is therefore the daughter of the speaker.
• The relation is daughter.

Additional Information

• The trap is reading *my mother's only daughter* as a sister. Because the speaker is female and there is only one daughter, it must be her.
• Substitute the resolved phrase back into the sentence — *she is the daughter of me* — and the answer is unambiguous.
• If the speaker had been male, the same phrase would indeed mean his sister, and the answer would become niece.
