Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

Niece

Solution :

The correct option is Niece.


To determine the relation between X and Z, let us break down the given statements step-by-step:


1. Statement 1: "X is the daughter of Y"
This means Y is the parent (father or mother) of X, making X a female descendant (daughter) of Y.


2. Statement 2: "Y is the brother of Z"
This means Y and Z are siblings, specifically Y is a male sibling (brother) of Z.


3. Combining the relationships:
Since Y is the brother of Z, and X is the daughter of Y, X is the daughter of Z's brother.


The daughter of one's brother (or sister) is called a niece.


Therefore, X is the niece of Z.
