Question

Pointing to a man, Rani says, "He is the son of my mother's only daughter.” How is the man related to Rani?

• A. Nephew
• B. Brother
• C. Cousin
• D. Son

Hint:

In blood relation questions, replace the phrases with actual names for clarity. Here: “My mother’s only daughter” = Rani → “He is Rani’s son.”

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To determine the relationship between the man and Rani, we need to analyze the statement step by step:

• Rani says: "He is the son of my mother's only daughter."
• Understanding the phrase:
  • My mother's only daughter: This refers to Rani herself since Rani is the only daughter of her mother.
  • The son of (Rani): Therefore, the man is Rani's son.
• Hence, the man is Rani's Son.
• However, if interpreted as "Rani is not referring to herself as her mother's only daughter:"
  • My mother's only daughter: Rani is once again implicitly mentioned.
  • Thus, the son of Rani (who is her mother's only daughter) would be Rani's Brother.

Given the options provided with correct understanding, the man is Rani's Brother.

Answer 2

Step 1: Break Down the Statement
We need to analyze the phrase: "He is the son of my mother's only daughter."

Step 2: Identify "My Mother's Only Daughter"

• "My mother" refers to Rani's mother.
• "Only daughter" of Rani's mother:
  • Rani could be the only daughter, or
  • It could be someone else—but since "only daughter" implies one person, and Rani is the speaker, it is Rani herself.
• So, my mother's only daughter = Rani

Step 3: Analyze "Son of My Mother's Only Daughter"

• This becomes: Son of Rani
• Therefore, He is Rani's son.

Step 4: Confirming the Interpretation

• If there were any other daughters, the phrase would not use "only."
• No ambiguity remains; Rani is the only daughter and the man is her son.

Conclusion:
The man referred to is the son of Rani.

Answer:
\[ \boxed{\text{D) Son}} \]
