Pointing to a woman, a boy said, “She is the daughter of my father’s only sister’s husband’s brother’s wife.” How is the woman related to the boy?

• A. Mother
• B. Sister
• C. Aunt
• D. Cousin

Answer: C. Aunt

The woman is the boy’s aunt. Here’s why:

1. Father’s only sister: This refers to the boy’s aunt.
2. Aunt’s husband: This becomes the boy’s uncle.
3. Uncle’s brother: This is another uncle of the boy (father’s side).
4. Uncle’s brother’s wife: This is the wife of the boy’s other uncle, making her the aunt of the boy.

Therefore, the woman is the boy’s aunt by marriage.
