Because there is no clue or hint whereby it can be said that Sudeep is a husband.

It is not necessary that Veena is the wife of Sudeep, she may be the sister of Ashok's wife.

Sister in law also means the sister of someone's husband or wife so how can we solve a question if it has two meanings?

Please reply.

How can we say that Kalyani is female? I think Kalyani may be Dheeraj father or mother, so we cannot say Kalyani is female.

Lets Go in the reverse order.

"Dheeraj is the father of Sudeep who is the only brother of Ashok."
Breaking the sentence into parts.

1) Dheeraj is the father of Sudeep (Dheeraj is male i.e plus sign)
D+ -----> S.

2) Sudeep who is the only brother of Ashok. (Sudeep is male i.e. plus sign again)
[ S+ --- A ].

So, Dheeraj have only two children, among which one is surely male(Sudeep), we don't know about Ashok.
D+ ------> [S+ --- A].

Now Veena comes into picture,
" Veena who is the sister-in-law of Ashok, is the daughter-in-law of Kalyani ".

Let's break it again.
So,

(1) Veena is the sister-in-law of Ashok.
AND she is also;
(2) Daughter-in-law of Kalyani.

We already have D+ -----> [S+ --- A ]

Lets analyse condition (1) "Veena is sister-in-law of Ashok" implies veena is female i.e. V-

Since Ashok have one brother, that means Veena is wife of Sudeep(S+ = V-).
So, we get D+ -----> [ ( S+ = V-) --- A ].

Let's analyze (2) " Veena is daughter-in-law of Kalyani" that means Kalyani is Sudeep's/Ashok's Mother and wife of Dheeraj (their father).
so, we get (D+ = K-) ----> [ (S+ = V-) --- A ]

Now the question says "How Kalyani is related to Ashok?"
Answer : Mother, which is not given in option a, b or c.
