Choose your answer
Arun said “this girl is the wife of the son of the only child of my mother”. Who is Arun to the girl?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
Let us trace the relationship step by step from the end of Arun's statement:
- “the only child of my mother” refers to Arun himself.
- “the son of [the only child of my mother]” refers to Arun's son.
- “the wife of [Arun's son]” refers to Arun's daughter-in-law.
Since the girl is Arun's daughter-in-law (the wife of Arun's son), Arun is her Father-in-law. The other options (Father, Grandfather, and Husband) misidentify the generational or marital link.
Option feedback
Option A
Incorrect. The girl is married to Arun's son, making her Arun's daughter-in-law rather than his daughter; thus Arun is not her Father.
Option B
Incorrect. 'The only child of my mother' is Arun himself, so the son is Arun's own son, not his grandson; hence Arun is not her Grandfather.
Option C
Incorrect. Arun's son is the girl's husband; Arun is the father of her husband.
Option D
Correct. 'The only child of my mother' is Arun; the son of Arun is Arun's son; the wife of Arun's son is Arun's daughter-in-law. Therefore, Arun is the girl's Father-in-law.
