• A. Son
• B. Brother
• C. Father
• D. Nephew
• E. Cousin

Hint:

Break down complex relation strings from the end (the "last" relative mentioned) and work backward toward the speaker.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
Break down the complex relationship string from the end toward the beginning.
Step 2: Identifying the Vector of Change:
- "My father's wife" $\rightarrow$ Mohan's Mother. - "Daughter of my mother" $\rightarrow$ Mohan's Sister. - "Brothers of the daughter" $\rightarrow$ Brothers of Mohan's sister.
Step 3: Calculation:
- The brothers of Mohan's sister are Mohan himself and the other boys in the sibling group. - The "boy playing football" is one of these brothers. - Therefore, the boy is Mohan's brother.
Step 4: Final Answer:
The boy is Mohan's brother. Thus, the correct option is (b).
