Relationship Deduction: Ayush and Neha
This question is a classic example of a blood relation puzzle. We need to carefully analyze the statements made by Ayush to determine Neha's relationship to him.
Analyzing Ayush's Statement
Ayush says two key things:
- "I am the son of your father."
- "But you are not my brother."
Step-by-Step Explanation
- Identifying the Common Parent: Ayush states he is the "son of your father". This means Ayush and Neha share the same father.
- Analyzing the Sibling Status: Ayush then clarifies, "you are not my brother". Since they share the same father, they are siblings. If Neha is not his brother, she must be his sister.
- Conclusion: The statement directly implies that Neha is Ayush's sister.
Possible Relationships Considered
Let's consider why the other options are less likely:
- Daughter: Ayush is the son of Neha's father. If Neha were the daughter, Ayush would be her grandson, not the son of her father.
- Step-daughter: This implies a different mother. While possible in complex family structures, the statement "son of *your* father" usually implies a direct sibling relationship in these puzzles unless otherwise specified. The direct negation "not my brother" points strongly to a sister.
- Cousin: Cousins share grandparents, not necessarily the same father. Ayush explicitly states he is the son of *Neha's* father.
Final Relationship
Based on the information provided, Neha is the Sister of Ayush.
