Statement II - The sister of Y is the mother of W's son Z.

• A. If the question can be answered with the help of statement I alone.
• B. If the question can be answered with the help of statement II alone.
• C. If both, statement I and statement II are needed to answer the question.
• D. If the question cannot be answered even with the help of both the statements.

Hint:

In familial relationships, combine the information from different statements to deduce relationships that are not directly mentioned.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

From Statement I:
"W is the son of Y's grandfather X." This tells us that W is Y's brother.
However, this is not enough information to determine the exact relationship between W and Y.
From Statement II:
"The sister of Y is the mother of W's son Z." This tells us that Y’s sister is the mother of W’s son Z, which implies that Y is W's sister. Therefore, W is Y’s brother. Combining both statements, we confirm that W is Y's brother.
