Solving the Blood Relation Puzzle: Nirmala and Radha

Let's break down the given statement to understand the relationship between Nirmala and Radha.

The key statement is: "The mother of Radha is the only daughter of Nirmala's father."

We are also given an important condition: "If Nirmala is the only child of their parent".

Step-by-Step Analysis

  • Consider Nirmala's father. Let's call him Person X.
  • The statement says "the only daughter of Nirmala's father".
  • Since Nirmala is the only child, she must be the only daughter (or son, if she were a son, but the phrase 'daughter' specifies gender) of her father.
  • Therefore, "the only daughter of Nirmala's father" is Nirmala herself.

Connecting the Information

Now substitute this back into the original statement:

"The mother of Radha is [the only daughter of Nirmala's father]"

Becomes:

"The mother of Radha is Nirmala"

Determining the Relationship

If Nirmala is the mother of Radha, then Nirmala is related to Radha as her mother.

Evaluating the Options

  • Sister: This is incorrect, as Nirmala is Radha's mother.
  • Mother: This matches our conclusion.
  • Aunt: This is incorrect.
  • Can't determine: We were able to determine the relationship based on the provided information.

Thus, Nirmala is the mother of Radha.
