Relationship Puzzle Analysis: Sohan's Statement

This relationship puzzle requires careful step-by-step deduction starting from Sohan's reference point.

Base Relation: Father-in-law

"My father-in-law" is the father of Sohan's wife.

Daughter: Father-in-law's Daughter

"The daughter of my father-in-law" refers to Sohan's wife.

  • Sohan's father-in-law's daughter = Sohan's wife.

Son: Daughter's Son

"The son of the daughter of my father-in-law" thus means the son of Sohan's wife.

  • Son of Sohan's wife = Sohan's son.

Maternal Aunt: Son's Aunt

"The maternal aunt of the son" is the sister of the son's mother (Sohan's wife).

  • Sister of Sohan's wife = Sohan's sister-in-law.

Mother: Aunt's Mother

"The mother of the maternal aunt" is the mother of Sohan's sister-in-law.

  • Since Sohan's wife and her sister share the same mother, this woman is also the mother of Sohan's wife.
  • Therefore, the woman is Sohan's mother-in-law.

Relation: To Sohan's Daughter

The identified woman is Sohan's mother-in-law. We need her relation to Sohan's daughter.

  • Sohan's daughter's mother is Sohan's wife.
  • The woman is the mother of Sohan's wife.
  • So, the woman is the mother of Sohan's daughter's mother.

This relationship is Mother's mother.
