Question

Ravi is the son of Aman’s father’s sister. Sahil is the son of Divya who is the mother of Gaurav and grandmother of Aman. Ashok is the father of Tanya and grandfather of Ravi. Divya is the wife of Ashok. How is Ravi related to Divya?

• A. Nephew
• B. Son
• C. Grandson
• D. Father-in-law

Hint:

Sketch a mini family tree: fix each sentence as a link (grandparent \(\to\) parent \(\to\) child). Spousal info (e.g., “X is the wife of Y”) mirrors the grandparent relation for both partners.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: From “Ravi is the son of Aman’s father’s sister.”
Aman’s father’s sister \(=\) Aman’s paternal aunt.
Therefore Ravi is the son of Aman’s aunt \(\) Ravi is Aman’s cousin. (This fixes Ravi’s generation as the same as Aman’s.) Step 2: From “Divya is the mother of Gaurav and grandmother of Aman.”
If Divya is Aman’s grandmother and also Gaurav’s mother, then Gaurav is Aman’s parent. So the chain is: \(\text{Divya} \to \text{Gaurav} \to \text{Aman}\). Step 3: From “Ashok is the father of Tanya and grandfather of Ravi; Divya is the wife of Ashok.”
Ashok’s wife is Divya. Ashok is grandfather of Ravi. Hence Divya (his wife) is also grandmother of Ravi. Given Ashok is the father of Tanya and is a grandparent of Ravi, Ravi must be the child of one of their children. The only named child here is Tanya. Therefore \( \text{Tanya} \to \text{Ravi}\) and \( \text{Divya} \to \text{(mother of Tanya)} \to \text{Ravi}\). Step 4: Conclude Divya–Ravi relation.
Since Divya is the spouse of the grandfather (Ashok) and parent of Tanya, she is Ravi’s grandmother. Thus, Ravi is Divya’s grandson.
\[ \boxed{\text{Grandson (Option (c)}} \]
