Directions: Read the following information carefully and answer the question that follows.
A family consists of seven members across three generations, including two married couples. K is the father-in-law of H, who is married to P. P is the only brother of N. G is the daughter of N and has no siblings. B is the maternal uncle of G. D is the mother-in-law of H. N is unmarried.
How is K related to G?
Correct Answer :
Maternal Grandmother
Solution :
The correct answer is Maternal Grandmother.
Let us carefully map out every relationship clue given in the problem and construct the family tree step by step.
Step 1 – Identify the core couple and their children
We are told that D is the mother-in-law of H, and H is married to P. This means D is the mother of P.
We are also told that K is the father-in-law of H, so K is the parent of P (H's spouse). Together, K and D form the first married couple and are the parents of P.
Since P is the only brother of N, P and N are siblings — both children of K and D. N is female.
Step 2 – Identify the second couple
H is married to P. This forms the second married couple: P and H.
Step 3 – Place G in the tree
G is the daughter of N, and N has no siblings other than P. G has no siblings either. Since N is unmarried, G belongs to the generation below N.
Step 4 – Confirm B's role
B is the maternal uncle of G. The maternal uncle of G is the brother of G's mother. G's mother is N. N's brother is P. Therefore, B = P in terms of relationship label (P acts as the maternal uncle of G).
Step 5 – Build the full family tree (three generations)
Generation I → K (female) — D
| |
Generation II → P (married to H) — N (unmarried)
|
Generation III → G
Step 6 – Trace the relationship from K to G
- K is the mother of N (since K and D are parents of both P and N).
- N is the mother of G (given directly).
- Therefore, K is the mother of G's mother (N).
The mother of one's mother is called a maternal grandmother.
Therefore, K is the Maternal Grandmother of G.
