Question

Pointing to a photograph, a man says, "The lady in the photograph is my nephew's maternal grandmother." How is the lady related to the man's sister who has no other sister?

• A. Mother
• B. Aunt
• C. Sister
• D. Mother-in-law

Hint:

In blood relation questions, always start from the person mentioned (here, the nephew) and move step-by-step through each relationship to avoid confusion.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: In blood relation problems, identify each relationship step-by-step and connect them logically. The term {maternal grandmother} refers to the mother of the person's mother.
Step 1:Identify the nephew.
The man mentions his nephew. A nephew is the son of one's brother or sister.
Step 2:Find the maternal grandmother of the nephew.
Maternal grandmother = mother of the nephew's mother. If the nephew is the son of the man's sister, then the nephew's mother is the man's sister.
Step 3:Identify the lady in the photograph.
The lady is the maternal grandmother of the nephew, which means she is the mother of the man's sister.
Step 4:Relate the lady to the man's sister.
Since the lady is the mother of the man's sister, the relationship is: \[ \text{Lady} = \text{Mother of the man's sister} \] Thus, the lady is the Mother of the man's sister.
