A and B are brothers] C and D are sisters, A's son is D's brother. How is B related to C ?

Question

Accepted Answer

To determine how B is related to C, let's analyze the relationships given in the question:

1. A and B are brothers. This means A and B share the same parents.

2. C and D are sisters. This means C and D share the same parents.

3. A's son is D's brother. This indicates that A has a son, and this son is also D's brother. Therefore, A's son and D are siblings, which means A is D's father.

Now, let's determine B's relationship to C:

- Since A is D's father and D is C's sister, A is also C's father. This makes C and D A's children.

- B, being A's brother, is the uncle of A's children. Therefore, B is the uncle of both C and D.

Now, let's explain why each of the other options is incorrect:

1. Father: B cannot be C's father because A is already established as the father of C and D.

3. Brother: B cannot be C's brother because B is A's brother, not C's. C and D are siblings, and B is their uncle.

4. Grandfather: B cannot be C's grandfather because B is A's brother, making him the uncle of A's children, not their grandfather.

In conclusion, the correct relationship is that B is the uncle of C, which aligns with Option 2.
