Relationship Breakdown

Let's determine the relationships step-by-step based on the information provided:

  • X is Y's sister. This tells us X is female.
  • Z is Y's mother. Since X and Y are siblings, Z is also X's mother.
  • A is Z's father. This means A is the father of X's mother. Therefore, A is X's maternal grandfather.
  • B is A's mother. This makes B the maternal great-grandmother of X.

Identifying X's Relation to A

The question asks specifically how X is related to A.

  • We know A is the father of Z (X's mother).
  • We know Z is the mother of X.
  • So, A is the father of X's mother. This confirms A is X's maternal grandfather.
  • From A's perspective, X is the child of his daughter (Z).
  • Therefore, X is A's granddaughter.

The option "Daughter's daughter" accurately describes this relationship, meaning X is the daughter of A's daughter.
