Analyzing Family Relationships: X to A
This problem requires tracing familial connections based on the given statements to determine the relationship between individuals X and A.
Step-by-Step Relationship Breakdown
- X and Y: X is stated to be Y's sister. This means X is female, and both share the same parent(s).
- Y and Z: Z is Y's mother. Since X and Y are sisters, Z is also X's mother.
- Z and A: A is Z's father. This makes A the father of X's mother (Z). Therefore, A is X's maternal grandfather.
- A and B: B is A's mother. This makes B the grandmother of Z and the maternal great-grandmother of X. (This information isn't directly needed for the final answer but helps map the full tree).
Determining X's Relation to A
The question asks how X is related *to* A. We established:
- A is the father of Z.
- Z is the mother of X.
- Therefore, A is the maternal grandfather of X.
From A's perspective, X is the child of his daughter (Z). Specifically, X is the daughter of his daughter.
Looking at the options:
- Option 1: Daughter - Incorrect. X is the granddaughter.
- Option 2: Daughter's Daughter - Correct. This describes X as the daughter of A's daughter (Z). This is equivalent to granddaughter.
- Option 3: Father's Mother - Incorrect. This is a paternal grandmother.
- Option 4: Mother's Sister - Incorrect. This is a maternal aunt.
Thus, X is A's 'Daughter's Daughter' (granddaughter).
