3.
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.

Although the sex of D was not defined, only one aswer fit the results (Nephew). That should be the answer. Had the test given option of Niece and Nephew, I would agree that the answer would be D. The correct answer based on the options given has to be C.

@Lakhveer Singh.
Here A, B &C are siblings.
And in problem, clearly given that C is the father of D. &D is either male or female which is not confirm.
So we can not determine its gender.
Therefore option[D] is the right answer.

Nephew is more appropriate than the option can't be determined, right?
Because the answer is either nephew or niece. Instead of roughly saying can't b determined. We can select one of the possible answers that is nephew right?

Define nephew: A son of your brother or sister usage, synonyms, more.
I think the correct answer is "C" because NEPHEW is given in the 4 option. No matter in male or female. In this question only say relation with D AND A.

A = Brother (m) of B.
B = Sister (f) of C.
C = Father (m) of D.
D = ? m or f.
Therefore answer is D.
Note: A+B+C are brother and sister.
If D is male answer is NEPHEW. If D female answer is NIECE.
B = Sister (f) of C.
C = Father (m) of D.
D = ? m or f.
Therefore answer is D.
Note: A+B+C are brother and sister.
If D is male answer is NEPHEW. If D female answer is NIECE.

This option is wrong.
The correct answer is the Father.
Because. A ------ brother ------ B.
B ------ sister ------ C.
C ------ father ------ D.
D related to A. = Father (all ABC son or daughter).
The correct answer is the Father.
Because. A ------ brother ------ B.
B ------ sister ------ C.
C ------ father ------ D.
D related to A. = Father (all ABC son or daughter).

I differ with the explanation given.
C is the father of D, B is the Sister of C i.e D's aunt.
A is brother of B i.e C's brother i.e D's uncle.
If anybody do not agree with me, kindly reply.

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...

Whether, D is male or female not given so according to relation it could be NEPHEW or NIECE but clearly mentioned in options "[D]. Cannot be determined" so we have to select that one only.
