Showing the man receiving a prize, Saroj said, "He is the brother of my uncles daughter." Who is the man to Saroj?

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Cousin

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
This question tests the ability to translate a short spoken description into a clear family relation. The key phrase is "my uncles daughter", which itself describes a known relation, and then the brother of that person is taken as the target. This is a very standard pattern in blood relation questions.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Saroj is the speaker.
  • Saroj points to a man receiving a prize.
  • Saroj says, "He is the brother of my uncles daughter."
  • "My uncle" means a brother of either Saroj father or mother.
  • The daughter of Saroj uncle is in the same generation as Saroj.


Concept / Approach:
First, understand the relation "my uncles daughter". That is normally called a cousin. Once you know that, the phrase "brother of my uncles daughter" becomes "brother of my cousin". Under usual family structures, the brother of your cousin is also your cousin. This leads directly to the correct option.



Step-by-Step Solution:
Step 1: Identify "my uncle". This is a brother of Saroj father or mother.Step 2: "My uncles daughter" is the daughter of this uncle. For Saroj, she is a female cousin.Step 3: The man receiving the prize is described as the brother of that cousin.Step 4: The brother of your cousin is usually also your cousin, because he is another child of the same uncle or aunt.Step 5: Therefore, the man is a cousin of Saroj.


Verification / Alternative check:
Take an example. Let Saroj father be named Ram and his brother be named Shyam. Shyam is Saroj uncle. Shyam has two children: a daughter Pooja and a son Rohit. From Saroj point of view, Pooja is "my uncles daughter", a cousin. Rohit is Pooja brother, and also a child of the same uncle Shyam. So Rohit is also a cousin of Saroj. This matches the logical pattern of the question.



Why Other Options Are Wrong:
The man cannot be Saroj son, because that would place him one generation below Saroj, whereas a cousin is in the same generation. He is not a nephew because that would mean he is the child of Saroj sibling, which is not mentioned. Brother-in-law would require him to be married to Saroj sister or be the brother of Saroj spouse, but the sentence does not refer to marriage at all. Uncle would mean he belongs to an older generation, again not supported here.



Common Pitfalls:
In a hurry, some candidates label "my uncles daughter" as sister, which is incorrect. The children of your uncles and aunts are cousins, not siblings. Once that mistake is made, they may then misclassify the brother of that person as their brother, leading to the wrong answer. Always keep straight the difference between siblings and cousins.



Final Answer:
The man receiving the prize is Saroj cousin.
