Question

    A man said to a woman, "Your husband's daughter is the daughter of my brother". How is the man related to the woman's daughter?

    A Mother's Brother Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Brother Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Father's Brother Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Father Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The man says, "Your husband's daughter is the daughter of my brother." This means that the woman's husband's daughter (i.e., the woman's stepdaughter) is the niece of the man. Since the woman's husband's daughter is the niece of the man, the man is the brother of the woman's husband, making him the woman's brother-in-law. But the question asks about the man's relationship to the woman's daughter, not the woman herself. Since the man is the woman's brother-in-law, he would be the uncle of the woman's daughter. So, the correct answer should indeed be 3. Father's Brother.
