Pointing to a girl during his reception party, Rahul said, "She is the sister of my mother's husband's only daughter-in-law". How is the girl related to Rahul?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Breaking down the relationship description: "She is the sister of my mother's husband's only daughter-in-law"


Starting from Rahul's perspective:

"My mother's husband" = Rahul's father


"My mother's husband's only daughter-in-law" = Rahul's father's only daughter-in-law

A daughter-in-law is the wife of one's son.

Therefore: Rahul's father's daughter-in-law = wife of Rahul's father's son


Since it specifies "only daughter-in-law", Rahul's father has exactly one daughter-in-law.

This means Rahul's father has a son who is married.

Rahul is the son of his father, so the only daughter-in-law refers to Rahul's wife.


"She is the sister of [Rahul's wife]"

The girl is the sister of Rahul's wife.

Therefore, the girl is Rahul's sister-in-law.


The answer is Option 3: Sister-in-law
