If A is the brother of B; B is the sister of C; and C is the father of D, how D is related to A?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
If D is Male, the answer is Nephew.
If D is Female, the answer is Niece.
As the sex of D is not known, hence, the relation between D and A cannot be determined.
Note: Niece - A daughter of one's brother or sister, or of one's brother-in-law or sister-in-law. Nephew - A son of one's brother or sister, or of one's brother-in-law or sister-in-law.

Since A, B, C are siblings, Daughter or son of C i.e. D should be nephew or niece in relation from A to D. Keeping in mind that from D perspective of view, He or she will view it as an Uncle and not nephew or niece. However, since gender is not mentioned and the question directly asks about the relation from A to D and not D to A. The correct answer should be not defined since the uncle is not mentioned in the option.

Here.
A is the brother of B and B is the sister of C and C is the father of D hence A is male and the gender of D is not determined here the question is how D is related to A it means A is the uncle of D.
So, the answer is Uncle, not nephew or niece.
If they ask how A related to D then the answer will be Nephew or niece.
Correct me, If I am wrong.

A is brother of B.
B is sis of C.
C is father of D.
D=A?
So, as A is the brother of B where B is sis of C and C is the father of D so, A is male or you can say A is the brother of C so, A is the paternal uncle of D where D is the son of C.
So, the paternal uncle is not given is an option so the answer would be (D) = cannot be determined.

Here the question is how D is related to A.
According to A, brother's son (or) daughter will be a nephew (or) niece.
If they ask how A is related to D then,
According to D, father's brother (or) sister will be an uncle (or) aunt.
So,the answer is D because they didn't mention the gender of D in question.
According to A, brother's son (or) daughter will be a nephew (or) niece.
If they ask how A is related to D then,
According to D, father's brother (or) sister will be an uncle (or) aunt.

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.

A is father of c ---->A(father) for C.
C is sister of d ---->C(sister) for D(male person).
A's brother is E.
D is son of B means A (male)and B(female) married couple and their children C and D
so that B female and E male so that should be sister-in-law.
A is father of c ---->A(father) for C.

Here A is brother which means a boy,
And B is sister which means a girl,
And C is the father of D, here c is also a boy,
They didn't give any gender for D,
ABC are brothers and sisters,
As we don't know the gender of D we can't determine the relation between D and A.

A and C are brothers and B is the only sister of both A & C.
C is the father of D but here not represents D gender. So we don't know whether D is niece or nephew how should we assume D as nephew, No we can't.
So, the answer is " Cannot be determined".
