Question

Pointing to a woman, John says, "She is the wife of my uncle's only son." How is the woman related to John?

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

Correct Answer

Option C — Sister-in-law

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is Sister-in-law.

Key Points

• John's uncle's only son is John's (male) cousin.
• The woman is that cousin's wife.
• In common Indian kinship usage a male cousin's wife is addressed as bhabhi — the sister-in-law equivalent — so the woman is John's sister-in-law.
• Build the chain 'uncle → his son (cousin) → his wife', then map it to the closest English relation the options offer.
