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.

I don't think that answer will C.
Because it is not described that C is the father of D.

It will be D.
Because A and C are brothers B their Sister and C is the father of D.
So, obviously, if it is male it will be nephew if female it will be niece.

Why can't the answer be C i.e Nephew?
Agree that D can be either nephew or niece, depending on whether they are male or female, which is not mentioned.

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.

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.

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".
