(ii) D is the grandmother of A and mother of B.
(iii) C is wife of B and mother of F
(iv) F is the granddaughter of E.
What is C to A?
Explanation
1. Analyzing the Second Generation
-
From statement (ii), we know B is the child of D.
-
From statement (iii), C is the wife of B.
-
This gives us the first married couple: (B⟷C). Since C is the wife, B is the husband.
2. Analyzing the Third Generation
-
Statement (ii) says D is the grandmother of A. Since D is the mother of B, A must be the child of B.
-
Statement (iii) says C is the mother of F. Since C and B are married, F is also the child of B.
-
Therefore, A and F are siblings (the third generation).
3. Analyzing the First Generation
-
Statement (iv) mentions F is the granddaughter of E.
-
We already know D is the grandmother. For there to be two married couples, E must be the grandfather married to D.
-
This gives us the second married couple: (E⟷D).
4. Conclusion for C and A
-
We have established that B and C are a married couple.
-
We have established that A is the child of B.
-
Since C is the wife of B, she is naturally the mother of B's children.
Thus, the relationship of C to A is:
Correct Option: (C) Mother
