Mira is the wife of my aunt’s son
Explanation
To solve this problem, let us break down the relationships step-by-step using logical deduction. Let the speaker be denoted as S.
Step 1: Analyze the statement "Mira’s mother-in-law’s mother is my grandmother."
Let H be Mira's husband.
"Mira's mother-in-law" is the mother of H. Let us call her Mil.
The phrase "Mira’s mother-in-law’s mother" refers to Mil's mother.
The problem states: Mil’s mother=S’s grandmother.
Step 2: Establish the relationship between the Speaker (S) and Mira’s husband (H).
Since Mil’s mother is S’s grandmother, this implies that Mil and S’s parent are children of the same grandmother.
Therefore, Mil is the aunt of S (as Mil is not S's mother, because S's mother's offsprings are unmarried).
If Mil is S's aunt, then her son (H) is S's cousin.
Step 3: Evaluate the constraints.
The statement "All my mother’s offsprings are unmarried till date" confirms that S is not married to Mira, eliminating option 4.
Since H is the son of S's aunt, we can conclude that Mira is the wife of S's aunt's son.
Conclusion:
Comparing our deduction to the given options, the correct answer is Option 3: Mira is the wife of my aunt’s son.
