Pointing to a man at a function, Rohit said, "His wife is the daughter of my mother's only brother." How is the man related to Rohit?
The man is Rohit's brother-in-law. Rohit's mother's only brother is his maternal uncle, and the uncle's daughter is Rohit's cousin. The man is that cousin's husband, so he is a brother-in-law to Rohit.
- ABrother-in-lawCorrect
- BMaternal uncle
- CCousin
- DNephew
Explanation
Rohit's mother's only brother is his maternal uncle. That uncle's daughter is Rohit's cousin. The man is the husband of this cousin, so he is the cousin's husband. Among the given terms, brother-in-law covers the husband of one's female cousin only loosely, so we check: the option list is built so that only one fits. Cousin would be wrong since the man is only married into that family.
