Family Relationship Analysis
This problem requires tracing a family lineage to determine the relationship between two individuals, D and A.
Tracing the Generations
We can establish the generational links step-by-step:
- A is the father of B. This means B is one generation below A.
- B is the father of C. This means C is one generation below B.
- Combining the first two points, A is the father of B, who is the father of C. Thus, A is the grandfather of C. C is two generations below A.
- D is the son of C. This means D is one generation below C.
- Since A is the grandfather of C, and C is the father of D, A is the father of the father of the father of D. Therefore, A is the great-grandfather of D.
Determining D's Relation to A
The question asks for D's relationship relative to A.
- We established that A is the great-grandfather of D.
- Conversely, D is the descendant in the male line, specifically the son of C (who is the son of B, who is the son of A).
- Therefore, D is the great-grandson of A.
