Analyzing the Relationship Clues
This is a family relationship puzzle. We need to determine Raju's relationship to Sunita based on the conversation.
Step-by-Step Reasoning
- Identify the key people: Sohan, Raju, Raju's Mother, Raju's Mother's Father, Sunita.
- Analyze Sohan's statement: Sohan met "your mother's father's only granddaughter".
- Break down the relationship chain:
- Raju's mother's father is Raju's maternal grandfather.
- The grandfather's "only granddaughter" refers to the sole female grandchild.
- Analyze Raju's statement: "his mother was the only child to her parents".
- Connect the statements:
- Since Raju's mother is the only child, she has no brothers or sisters.
- This means Raju's maternal grandfather has only one child (Raju's mother).
- Therefore, the grandfather's only granddaughter must be the daughter of his only child (Raju's mother).
- The daughter of Raju's mother is Raju's sister.
- So, Sunita is Raju's sister.
- Determine Raju's relation to Sunita: If Sunita is Raju's sister, then Raju is Sunita's brother.
Conclusion
Based on the analysis, Raju is Sunita's brother.
