A man pointing to a photograph says “The lady in the photograph is my nephew’s maternal grandmother and her son is my sister’s brother-in-law.” How is the lady in the photograph related to his sister who has no other sister ?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
The correct choice is: Mother-in-law
The lady’s son is the sister’s brother-in-law. As the sister has no sister, he must be her husband’s brother, so the lady is the mother of the sister’s husband.
(Consistent with the first clue: the man’s brother married the lady’s daughter, so the lady is his nephew’s maternal grandmother.)
Hence the lady is the sister’s mother-in-law. The answer is ‘Mother-in-law’.
