If John's daughter is Mary and Mary is the mother of Tom, how is John related to Tom?
Explanation: John is the father of Mary, and Mary is the mother of Tom, making John Tom’s grandfather. Father would only be correct if John were Tom’s direct parent. Uncle and brother are incorrect because John is in the grandparental line, not the same generation as Tom’s parent.
Sarah said, 'My mother’s only son is Paul.' What is the relationship between Sarah and Paul?
Explanation: Sarah’s mother’s only son is Paul, making Paul Sarah’s brother if Sarah is also her mother's child. Aunt and mother suggest a generational gap, which is not indicated. Niece is inappropriate since Sarah is at the same generational level as Paul.
If David is the son of John and John is Terence’s brother, how is David related to Terence?
Explanation: Since David is the son of John, and Terence is John’s brother, David is Terence’s nephew. Son would only be correct if Terence was David’s father. Uncle and cousin do not fit the family chain described in the question.
Emma is the daughter of Paul, who is the son of Carol. How is Carol related to Emma?
Explanation: Carol is Paul’s mother, and Paul is Emma’s father, making Carol the grandmother of Emma. Aunt and cousin are incorrect since Carol is not at the same generational level as Emma. Mother would suggest Carol is Emma’s direct parent, which is not the case.
If Jack’s wife is Jill and Jill’s brother is Sam, how is Sam related to Jack?
Explanation: Sam is Jill's brother, and since Jill is Jack's wife, Sam is Jack’s brother-in-law. Nephew and uncle suggest relationships down or up a generation, which do not apply. Father-in-law is not correct as Sam is not Jill's father.
Mary introduces Tom as 'He is my father's only son.' How is Tom related to Mary?
Explanation: Mary’s father's only son is Mary’s brother; therefore, Tom is her brother. Uncle, cousin, and nephew all refer to extended relations, not the direct sibling relationship established in the question.
If Peter is the father of Lily and Lily is the sister of Alex, what is Peter’s relation to Alex?
Explanation: Since both Lily and Alex are children of Peter, Peter is the father of Alex. Uncle and brother are incorrect, as Peter is not a sibling of Alex, while grandfather is incorrect because there's no skip in generation.
Annie and Benny are children of two sisters. What is the relationship between Annie and Benny?
Explanation: Annie and Benny are each the child of a sister, so they are cousins. Siblings would only be correct if they shared the same parents. Aunt-niece and uncle-nephew do not fit because they are of the same generation.
If Linda is married to Mike and Mike is the son of Susan, how is Linda related to Susan?
Explanation: As Mike's wife, Linda is Susan's daughter-in-law. Sister or cousin is unreasonable since Linda and Susan are not siblings or cousins. Niece also suggests another relationship not indicated in the scenario.
If James has a son named Mark and Mark has a cousin named Paul whose father is David, how is David related to James?
Explanation: If Mark and Paul are cousins, their fathers, James and David, must be brothers. Uncle and nephew describe a generational relationship, which does not fit. Father is only appropriate for one's own child, not a sibling's child.
If Monica is the sister of Alan and Alan is the father of Tom, how is Monica related to Tom?
Explanation: Monica is Alan’s sister, making her Tom’s paternal aunt. Mother would only be correct if Monica was Tom’s parent. Grandmother and cousin do not describe the relationship shown.
Eva says, 'He is the only son of my grandfather.' Who is Eva referring to?
Explanation: The only son of Eva’s grandfather would be Eva’s father, assuming her grandfather had just one son. Uncle and brother are possible only if Eva’s grandfather had more than one son, but the statement specifies 'only son.' Nephew is not correct.
Ron’s mother is Lisa, and Lisa’s husband is Harry. Who is Harry to Ron?
Explanation: If Lisa is Ron's mother and is married to Harry, then Harry is Ron's father. Uncle, brother, and grandfather are not appropriate since there is no indication of an extended or sibling relationship.
Tony says, 'She is the sister of my only brother.' What is the relationship between Tony and the girl?
Explanation: Tony's only brother would be Tony himself (if he is male and only child), so 'she' is his own sister. Mother, cousin, and aunt indicate alternative relationships that don't fit the direct sibling connection.
Martin points to a girl and says, 'She is my wife’s only daughter.' What is the girl's relationship to Martin?
Explanation: Martin's wife's only daughter is also Martin's daughter, unless he had no children with her, which is not implied here. Niece, cousin, and sister all refer to family connections that don't match the scenario.
If Mike’s father is Tom and Tom’s wife is Eva, how is Eva related to Mike?
Explanation: Tom's wife is Mike's mother, presuming Tom and Eva are Mike's parents. Sister, cousin, and grandmother indicate alternative familial relationships that are clearly not the case given the context.
