Question

Laura was going with a boy and is asked by a woman about the relationship between them. Laura replied, “My maternal uncle and the paternal uncle of his maternal uncle is the same”. How is Laura related with that boy?
a)Mother and Son
b)Aunt and Nephew
c)Grandmother and Grandson
d)Cannot be determined​

Answer 1

Answer:

C) Aunt and Nephew

Explanation:

Clearly, the brother of woman's mother is the same as the brother of the father of boy's maternal uncle. So, the woman's mother's brother is the boy's maternal uncle's father. Thus the woman's mother's brother's son is boy's maternal uncle, i.e woman's mother's  brother's daughter is boy's mother.
