M said to N, "You are my daughter's father's mother's son." How is N related to M if M is female?

  1. A
    N is the brother of M's husband
  2. B
    N is the father of M
  3. C
    N is the father-in-law of M
  4. D
    N is the son of M

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's break down the statement spoken by M (who is female) step-by-step:
1. "My daughter's father" Since M is female, her daughter's father is M's husband.
2. "M's husband's mother" This is M's mother-in-law.
3. "M's mother-in-law's son" This can be either M's husband himself or the brother of M's husband (M's brother-in-law / Devar or Jeth).

Looking at the given options, "N is the brother of M's husband" fits the deduction perfectly.
