Analyzing the Statement

The lady says, "his mother is the daughter of my mother." Let's break this down:

  • "The daughter of my mother" can refer to the lady herself or her sister.
  • "His mother" refers to the man's mother.
  • Combining these, the man's mother is either the lady or the lady's sister.

Identifying the Correct Relationship
