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.

Niece--> a daughter of your brother or sister and a daughter of your husband's or wife's brother or sister.
Their son is called your nephew.
Their son is called your nephew.

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.

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.

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?

A, C = Male,
B = Female,
C = Father of D.
It means that A, B, C are brother & sister with one another and D is their cousin. Hence A will be the uncle of D.

Hi, everyone option D is the right answer. Because D is son or daughter of C then it is a nephew or nice of A.
