Question

A is B's brother, C is A's mother, D is C's father, E is B's son. How is D related to E?

• A. Grandson
• B. Great Grandson
• C. Grandfather
• D. Great Grandfather

Hint:

In family relation problems, draw a family tree to keep track of generations — this avoids confusion with great-grandparents and great-grandchildren.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: From "A is B's brother" — A and B are siblings.
Step 2: "C is A's mother" — therefore, C is also B’s mother (since A and B have the same parents).
Step 3: "D is C's father" — meaning D is the grandfather of A and B.
Step 4: "E is B's son" — E is the child of B.
Step 5: Since D is B's grandfather, D will be E's great grandfather (one generation more up from grandfather).
Thus, the correct relationship is $\mathbfGreat\ Grandfather$.
