Pointing to a girl in the photograph, Amar said, “Her mother’s brother is the only son of my mother’s father.” How is the girl’s mother related to Amar?

Mother
Sister
Aunt
Grandmother E. None of these

The correct answer is: C. Aunt

Here’s why:

  • Amar’s mother’s father is Amar’s grandfather.
  • Amar’s mother’s brother is Amar’s uncle.
  • The girl’s mother is Amar’s uncle’s wife.
  • Therefore, the girl’s mother is Amar’s aunt.

Let’s take a look at each option in more detail:

  • Mother: This is not the correct answer because Amar’s mother is not the girl’s mother.
  • Sister: This is not the correct answer because Amar’s sister is not the girl’s mother.
  • Aunt: This is the correct answer because the girl’s mother is Amar’s uncle’s wife.
  • Grandmother: This is not the correct answer because Amar’s grandmother is not the girl’s mother.
  • None of these: This is not the correct answer because the girl’s mother is related to Amar as his aunt.
