A is B's sister. C is B's mother. D is C's father. How is A related to D?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Granddaughter
- Step 1: A is the sister of B, and C is the mother of B, so C is also the mother of A.
- Step 2: D is the father of C. Thus, D is the maternal grandfather of A.
- Step 3: From D's perspective, since A is female, A is the granddaughter of D.
Answer
Granddaughter.
Why not the others: Daughter describes C's relation to D rather than A's; Grandmother inverts the generational hierarchy; Niece assumes D is a sibling of C.
