NIMCET 2013 — Reasoning PYQ
NIMCET | Reasoning | 2013
Pointing to a woman, Nirmal said "She is the sister of daughter of my wife's grandfather's only child". How is the woman related to Nirmal?
Choose the correct answer:
A.
Wife
B.
Sister-in-law
(Correct Answer)
C.
Sister
D.
None of these
Correct Answer:
Sister-in-law
Explanation
Solving
To solve this, let's break down the statement from the end:
"My wife's grandfather's only child":
Grandfather's only child is the Father-in-law (or Mother-in-law) of Nirmal. Since it is the only child, it must be the parent of Nirmal's wife.
"Daughter of my wife's father-in-law":
The daughter of his wife's father can be either his Wife or his Sister-in-law.
"She is the sister of [that daughter]":
If the woman is the sister of Nirmal's wife's sister, she is a Sister-in-law.
If the woman is the sister of Nirmal's wife, she is still a Sister-in-law.
Logical Flow:
Wife’s Grandfather’s only child=Wife’s Father
Daughter of Wife’s Father=Wife or her Sister
Sister of that daughter=Sister-in-law (or Wife)
Since "Sister-in-law" is provided as a specific option (Option 2) and "Wife" is Option 1, the context of these puzzles usually implies a sibling of the wife to distinguish the relationship.
Conclusion: The woman is Nirmal's Sister-in-law.
