ReasoningBlood Relations
Pointing to a gentleman, Somenath said "His only brother is the father of my daughter's father". How is the gentleman related to Somenath?
- a.Brother-in-Law
- b.Uncle
- c.Grandfather
- d.Father
Answer: (B) Uncle
'My daughter's father' is Somenath himself, so 'the father of my daughter's father' is Somenath's father. The gentleman's only brother is therefore Somenath's father, which makes the gentleman Somenath's paternal uncle. He cannot be the father (he is the father's brother), nor the grandfather or a brother-in-law. Technique: decode the chain from its end backwards, replacing each phrase by a single person.
