Ramesh is the father of Manideep. Ramesh has only two children. Manideep is the brother of Niharika. Niharika is the daughter of Kavita. Ananya is the granddaughter of Kavita. Sujit is the father of Ananya. How is Sujit related to Manideep?
Correct Answer :
Brother-in-law
Solution :
The correct option is Brother-in-law.
Let us break down the relationships step-by-step to understand why this is the correct answer:
1. Ramesh, Manideep, and Niharika:
- Ramesh is the father of Manideep.
- Manideep is the brother of Niharika. This means Manideep and Niharika are siblings.
- Since Ramesh has only two children, Manideep and Niharika are his only children.
2. Kavita's relation:
- Niharika is the daughter of Kavita.
- Since Niharika is the daughter of Ramesh and also the daughter of Kavita, Ramesh and Kavita must be husband and wife (parents of Manideep and Niharika).
3. Sujit and Ananya:
- Ananya is the granddaughter of Kavita.
- Sujit is the father of Ananya.
- Since Ananya is the granddaughter of Kavita, her parent must be one of Kavita's children (either Manideep or Niharika) and their spouse.
- We know Sujit is the father of Ananya (a male). Manideep is a male ("brother of Niharika"). Niharika is a female ("daughter of Kavita").
- Therefore, for Sujit to be the father of Kavita's granddaughter Ananya, Sujit must be married to Kavita's daughter, Niharika. (If Ananya were Manideep's daughter, Manideep would be the father, not Sujit).
4. Conclusion:
- Since Sujit is married to Niharika, and Niharika is the sister of Manideep, Sujit is the husband of Manideep's sister.
- Therefore, Sujit is the brother-in-law of Manideep.
