Blood relations – decode the chain precisely: Pointing to a boy, Urmila said, "He is the son of my grandfather's only daughter." How is the boy related to Urmila?

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Brother

Explanation:

Introduction / Context:We translate a nested family description into a direct relation with the speaker (Urmila).

Given Data / Assumptions:

  • "My grandfather's only daughter" ⇒ Urmila's mother (only female child of her grandfather).
  • The boy is the son of that woman (Urmila's mother).

Concept / Approach:Child of one's mother is a sibling. The boy is male, so he is Urmila's brother.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Grandfather → only daughter = mother of Urmila.Boy = son of Urmila's mother ⇒ Urmila's brother.

Verification / Alternative check:Had the phrase been "grandmother's only daughter" it still points to mother if she is the only daughter. Either way, the boy remains a son of the mother ⇒ a brother.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:"Cousin/Nephew/Uncle/Son" imply different branches or generations not supported by the chain.

Common Pitfalls:Misreading "only daughter" as "only child" and overcomplicating with cousin branches.

Final Answer:Brother
