This question involves determining a family relationship based on given statements.

Analyzing Family Connections

Let's break down the relationships step by step:

  • Statement 1: Dustin is Mike’s son. This means Mike is Dustin's father.
  • Statement 2: Will is Bob’s son. This means Bob is Will's father.
  • Statement 3: The son of Bob’s father Alex is the brother of Mike.
    • Bob's father is Alex.
    • Alex has a son who is Mike's brother.
    • Since Alex is Bob's father, Alex is also the father of Bob's brother.
    • Therefore, Mike is the brother of Bob.

Determining Dustin's Relation to Will

Now we connect Dustin and Will:

  • Mike and Bob are brothers.
  • Dustin is Mike's son.
  • Will is Bob's son.
  • Since their fathers (Mike and Bob) are brothers, Dustin and Will are cousins.
  • To be specific about Dustin's relation to Will:
    • Will's father is Bob.
    • Bob's brother is Mike.
    • Mike's son is Dustin.
    • So, Dustin is the son of Will's Father's Brother.

This relationship is described as "Father’s Brother’s Son".
