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
