Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Work backwards from ”my mother”:- husband of my mother = my father- mother of (husband of mymother)=motherofmyfather=mypaternalgrandmother-thewomanwho is... = my paternal grandmother- She is the daughter of (the woman) = She is the daughter of my paternal grandmother. Daughter of paternal grandmother = Father’s sister = Paternal Aunt. The lady is Ranjan’s Aunt. This matches option (4).
