A's Relationship to D: Step-by-Step Explanation

This problem involves understanding family relationships based on the given statements. Let's break down the connections:

Identifying Key Relationships

  • Fact 1: A, B, and C are sisters. This establishes that A, B, and C belong to the same generation and share the same parents.
  • Fact 2: E is the daughter of B. This means B is the mother of E.
  • Fact 3: D is the brother of E. This means D and E are siblings.

Connecting the Facts

Now let's link these facts to find the relationship between A and D:

  • From Fact 2, we know B is E's mother.
  • Since D is E's brother (Fact 3), D and E share the same mother. Therefore, B is also D's mother.
  • From Fact 1, we know A is the sister of B.
  • Since B is D's mother, and A is B's sister, A is the sister of D's mother.

Determining the Final Relation

The sister of one's mother is called the maternal aunt or 'Mausi'. Therefore, A is the maternal aunt (Mausi) of D.

The relationship is confirmed as:

  • B is D's Mother.
  • A is B's Sister.
