A and B are brothers. C and D are sisters. A's son is D's brother. How is B related to C ?
Correct Answer: Option C — Uncle
Detailed Academic Explanation:
Let's break down this blood relation question step-by-step to understand it easily. Step 1: Understand the first statement. "A and B are brothers." This tells us that A is male and B is male . They share the same parents. Step 2: Understand the second statement. "C and D are sisters." This tells us that C is female and D is female . They share the same parents. Step 3: Connect the families using the third statement. "A's son is D's brother." Let's imagine A has a son. For clarity, let's call him Son-of-A . The statement says this Son-of-A is D's brother . Since C and D are sisters (from Step 2), if Son-of-A is D's brother, then Son-of-A is also C's brother . This means Son-of-A, C, and D are all siblings (they have the same parents). We know Son-of-A is A's son. So, A is the father of Son-of-A . Since Son-of-A, C, and D are siblings, this means A is also the father of C and D . Step 4: Find the final relationship. We need to find: "How is B related to C ?" From Step 3, we know that A is C's father . From Step 1, we know that A and B are brothers . If A is C's father, and B is A's brother, then B is C's father's brother. A father's brother is called an Uncle . So, B is C's Uncle . Therefore, the correct option is Option C: Uncle .
