A-brother -B;
B-sister - C;
C- father -D,

here A,B,C are brothers and sisters
D is related to A?

So D is Father to A.

Hey vinay,

Given C is father of D

As A(M),B(F),C(M) are brothers and sisters....

D is Uncle of A....

But we don't know whether A is male or female....

So answer cannot be determined...

Yes you are right. Pradeep koney, but the explanation is different see once.

The answer will be "c" because whatever you give the explanation is right, but niece is not there in the option. So we conclude that the answer is definitely "C".

@ anand.

Since the option given is nephew the answer could be niece too. Therefore the option of can't be determined that's "D" is the correct option. I hope you understand.

I can't understand it. Can anyone explain more this question?

Here given that A, B, C are brother's and sister's.

A - Male.
B - Female.
C - Male.
C Is the father of D.
D - Should be the cousin of A.

My question is how D is the niece or nephew of A?

Hey @Vinay,

If the Option given is nephew which is the near most relation to A & hence Whatever the options be when the sex is not mentioned we will not consider it & hence I think option c "nephew" is correct answer.

As far as my Knowledge if wrong please discuss further.
