Introducing a person, X says, "His father is the only son-in-law of my father." How is X related to the person?
Correct Answer :
Mother
Solution :
The correct option is Mother.
Let us break down the logical relationship step-by-step from the perspective of person X:
1. Identify "my father": This refers to X's father.
2. Identify "the only son-in-law of my father": The son-in-law of X's father would be the husband of X's father's daughter. Since X is introducing the person, the only son-in-law of X's father must be X's husband (and X is female in this context).
3. Now evaluate the full statement: "His father is the only son-in-law of my father."
This means: The person's father is X's husband.
4. Since X's husband is the father of the person, X must be the mother of that person.
Therefore, X is related to the person as Mother.
