Deepa says, "Vikram's mother is the sister of my father, and Vikram's wife is Anita." If Anita's son is Karan, how is Karan related to Deepa?
Karan is Deepa's cousin's son. Vikram's mother is Deepa's father's sister, so Vikram is her paternal cousin. Anita is Vikram's wife and Karan is their son, making him the son of Deepa's cousin, not her nephew or brother.

Explanation
Vikram's mother is Deepa's father's sister, so Vikram is Deepa's paternal cousin. Vikram's wife is Anita and Anita's son Karan is Vikram's son. Hence Karan is the son of Deepa's cousin, a first cousin once removed. Calling him a nephew is wrong because Deepa is not a sibling of Vikram.
