Understanding Blood Relations and Family Connections

This question asks us to determine a specific relationship within a family structure based on given clues. We need to carefully analyze each statement and deduce the connections.

Analyzing the Statements

Let's break down the information provided:

  1. "The father of Swati is the maternal grandfather of Divya."
    • This means Swati's father is the father of Divya's mother.
    • So, Swati's father is Divya's maternal grandfather.
  2. "Divya is the daughter of Manya."
    • This tells us directly that Manya is Divya's mother.

Connecting the Relationships

Now, let's combine the deductions:

  • From statement 1, Swati's father is the father of Divya's mother.
  • From statement 2, Manya is Divya's mother.
  • Therefore, Swati's father is the father of Manya. This means Manya is Swati's daughter (if Manya is younger than Swati and Swati is the child of Swati's father, but this isn't explicitly stated that Swati is also a child of Swati's father other than being his daughter. A more direct interpretation is that Swati and Manya are siblings, and Swati's father is their common father, and thus Manya's father). Let's stick with the more common pattern in such puzzles: Swati's father is the parent of both Swati and Manya. So, Manya is Swati's sister.

Let's represent this structure:

Person Relation
Swati's Father Father of Manya (and Swati)
Manya Daughter of Swati's Father, Divya's Mother
Divya Daughter of Manya

Finding the Final Relation

The question asks: "how is Manya's husband's father related to Divya?"

  • Manya is Divya's mother.
  • Manya's husband is Divya's father.
  • Manya's husband's father is the father of Divya's father.
  • The father of one's father is their paternal grandfather.

Conclusion on Family Relation

Based on our step-by-step analysis, Manya's husband is Divya's father, and Manya's husband's father is the father of Divya's father. This makes Manya's husband's father the paternal grandfather of Divya.

The relationship is clearly Paternal grandfather.
