Q159
ReasoningBlood Relations
P is the mother of X, who is the wife of Z. Y is the brother of P and Q is the husband of P. How is P related to Z?
- a.Mother-in-law
- b.Mother
- c.Daughter-in-law
- d.Sister
Answer: (A) Mother-in-law
X is the wife of Z, and P is the mother of X, so P is the mother of Z's wife, i.e. Z's mother-in-law. The details about Y (P's brother) and Q (P's husband) are extra information put in to distract; they would make Y the maternal uncle of X, and Q the father of X and father-in-law of Z. In blood-relation questions, pick out only the links that connect the two persons asked about, and draw a small family tree if needed.
