Question

If A says that his mother is the daughter of B's mother, then how is B related to A?

• A. Uncle
• B. Aunt
• C. Father
• D. Brother

Hint:

When gender isn't given in blood-relation problems, identify the \emph{relationship level} first (parent/sibling of parent, etc.). The final answer may include both gendered terms if either can apply.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A, B

Step 1: Translate the statement.
"A's mother is the daughter of B's mother." $\Rightarrow$ B's mother is also the mother of A's mother (i.e., A's maternal grandmother). Step 2: Relate B to A.
If B's mother is A's maternal grandmother, then B is a child of A's maternal grandmother $\Rightarrow$ B is a sib of A's mother. Step 3: Determine kin term for A.
A's mother's sibling is A's maternal uncle/aunt. Since B's gender is not specified, both possibilities hold:
- If B is male $\Rightarrow$ Uncle (Option A).
- If B is female $\Rightarrow$ Aunt (Option B).
\[ \boxed{\text{Therefore, both (A) and (B) are correct.}} \]
