Introducing a boy, a girl said, "He is the son of the sister of my mother's brother". How is that boy related to that girl?

  1. A
    Cousin
  2. B
    Uncle
  3. C
    Father-in-law
  4. D
    Niece

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's break down the relations described by the girl from back to front:
"my mother's brother" → The girl's maternal uncle.

"sister of my mother's brother" → The sister of her maternal uncle can either be the girl's own mother or another maternal aunt.

"He is the son of [that sister]" →

Case 1: If the sister is her own mother, the son is the girl's brother.

Case 2: If the sister is a maternal aunt, the son is the girl's maternal cousin.

Looking at the options provided, Cousin is listed, while brother is not. Therefore, the boy is the girl's cousin.
