Question: How is Sulekha related to Nandini ?

Statements:

  1. Sulekha's husband is the only son of Nandini's mother.
  2. Sulekha's brother and Nandini's husband are cousins.

I alone is sufficient while II alone is not sufficient
II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient
Either I or II is sufficient
Neither I nor II is sufficient
Both I and II are sufficient
Answer: Option
Explanation:

From I, we conclude that Sulekha is the wife of Nandini's mother's only son i.e. Nandini's brother. Thus, Sulekha is Nandini's sister-in-law.

From II, we conclude that Sulekha is the cousin of Nandini's husband, which implies that Sulekha is Nandini's sister-in-law.

How can you know Nandini is a girl?

If Nandini is a male, then Sulekha and Nandini are a couple.
