Question

Choose the most appropriate option for the following question.

Ravi was showing a photograph to his friend, Gopi. Pointing at a boy in the photograph, Ravi said: ‘The boy sitting at the left is the son of the wife of the only son of the grand­mother of my younger brother’. What is the relation between the boy in the photograph and Ravi?

Options

• Brothers

• Ravi’s brother­-in-­law

• First Cousins

• Nephew and uncle

Answer 1

Brothers

Explanation:

The relation can be analyzed as: 

Ravi's younger brother's grandmother = Ravi's grandmother

Ravi's grandmothers' only son = Ravi's  father 

Ravi's grandmother's only son's wife = Ravi's mother 

So, the boy in the photograph is the son of Ravi's  mother i.e. Ravi and the boy in photograph are siblings  i.e. brothers.
