Grandson

Solution :

To find the relationship of V with respect to L, we can break down the family connections step-by-step:


Step 1: Analyze the core family members
- P is the mother of V.
- V is the spouse of N. This means V and N are married to each other.
- C is the sister-in-law of N, and vice versa. This suggests C is the sibling of V (N's spouse).


Step 2: Understand the relation with N's father-in-law
- N is married to V, so N's father-in-law must be the father of V.
- Let the father of V be F (since P is V's mother, V's father is P's husband). Let's verify this with the next clues.


Step 3: Analyze the lineage of L, M, F, and R
- M is the sister of N’s father-in-law.
- L is the mother of M.
- F is the only son of L and R. Since L is the mother of M and F is the only son of L and R, F and M are siblings.
- Since F is the only son, and M is a female (sister), the father-in-law of N (who is male) must be F himself. Thus, F is the father-in-law of N, meaning F is the father of V.
- Therefore, V is the child of F and P.


Step 4: Determine the gender of V
- The correct option is "Grandson", which implies V is male. Let's trace his relationship to L.
- L is the mother of F (V's father).
- Since V is the child of F, and F is the son of L, V is the grandson of L.


Therefore, V is the Grandson of L.
