Blood Relation: Nikhil and Rita Explained

This question involves understanding family relationships based on a statement. We need to carefully analyze what Nikhil said to determine how Rita is related to him.

Breaking Down Nikhil's Statement

Nikhil's statement is: “I am the only son of her mother’s son.”

Let's analyze this statement part by part:

  • The pronoun "her" refers to Rita.
  • "her mother" therefore means Rita's mother.
  • "her mother's son" means the son of Rita's mother. This person is Rita's brother.
  • "I am the only son of..." signifies that Nikhil himself is the son of the person mentioned previously.

Combining these parts, Nikhil is saying that he is the only son of Rita's brother.

Establishing the Relationship

If Nikhil is the son of Rita's brother, we can deduce the relationship from Rita's perspective:

  • Rita's brother is the father of Nikhil.
  • Since Rita is the sister of Nikhil's father, she is his Aunt.

Thus, Rita is Nikhil's Aunt.
