Question

Pointing to a man, a lady said "His mother is the only daughter of my mother". How is the lady related to the man ?

The correct answer is

Mother

To solve the question, we need to analyze the information given in the statement and identify the relationship between the lady and the man. The statement provided is:

"Pointing to a man, a lady said 'His mother is the only daughter of my mother.'"

Let's break down the statement:

  1. The lady says, "His mother." This indicates that the man being pointed to is the son of the lady's reference person, who is "His mother."
  2. The lady continues, "is the only daughter of my mother." This means that the mother of the man is also the daughter of the lady's mother.

From these logical steps, we deduce the following:

  • The lady's mother has only one daughter, who is "His mother," meaning the lady is referring to herself.
  • As the mother's relation has been indicated as "the only daughter," it implies the lady herself is the mother of the man.

Thus, the correct answer is that the lady is the man's Mother.

Let's conclude the reasoning by evaluating the given options:

  • Mother: This correctly matches our deduction that the lady is the man's mother.
  • Sister: This cannot be true as the statement describes a parent-child relationship.
  • Daughter: This is incorrect since the statement indicates the lady is the older generation than the man.
  • Aunt: This is incorrect, as the lady specifically refers to her own mother's daughter, indicating a mother-son relationship.

Based on the analysis and reasoning, it is evident that the lady is related to the man as his Mother.
