Introducing a girl to his girlfriend, Ajay said," Her only brother's mother is the only child of my grandmother." How is Ajay related to this girl?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Breaking down the statement: "Her only brother's mother is the only child of my grandmother."

Let's identify "the only child of my grandmother":

  • Ajay's grandmother has only one child
  • This only child must be Ajay's mother (or father, but one parent must be the only child)
  • So "the only child of my grandmother" = Ajay's mother

Now identifying "her only brother's mother":

  • The girl has only one brother
  • Her brother's mother = the girl's mother
  • So "her only brother's mother" = the girl's mother

Combining both parts:

The girl's mother = Ajay's mother

Since Ajay and the girl share the same mother, they are siblings.

Therefore, Ajay is the girl's brother.

The answer is Option 1: Brother.
