Understanding the Blood Relation Puzzle

To solve this type of blood relation question, we need to carefully break down the statement made by the person pointing, which is Sheela in this case. The statement describes the lady's relationship to Sheela.

Step-by-Step Analysis of Sheela's Statement

Sheela says, “She is my only brother’s daughter’s father’s mother.” Let's analyze this phrase by phrase, starting from the end of the relationship chain relative to Sheela:

• My only brother: This refers to Sheela's single brother.
• My only brother’s daughter: This person is the daughter of Sheela's brother. A brother's daughter is known as a niece. So, this part refers to Sheela's niece.
• My only brother’s daughter’s father: This is the father of Sheela's niece. The father of a niece is her father, who is Sheela's brother. So, this part brings us back to Sheela's brother.
• My only brother’s daughter’s father’s mother: This is the mother of Sheela's brother. The mother of Sheela's brother is also Sheela's mother, assuming they share the same parents, which is the standard assumption in these puzzles unless stated otherwise.

Determining the Final Relationship

Following the chain of relationships, the lady Sheela is pointing at is the mother of her brother. Therefore, the lady is Sheela's mother.

Conclusion

The lady being pointed at is Sheela's mother.

Comparing this to the given options:

1. Mother
2. Daughter
3. Sister
4. Mother’s sister

Our conclusion matches the first option.
