Mahesh introduces a girl to his friend and says - this is the daughter...
Understanding the Relationship
To solve the relationship puzzle presented by Mahesh, we need to break down the statement: "this is the daughter of one of my grandfather's sons."
Analyzing the Statement
- Grandfather's Sons: Mahesh's grandfather has sons, which can include Mahesh's father and possibly uncles.
- One of My Grandfather's Sons: This indicates we are referring to either Mahesh's father or an uncle.
- Daughter of One of Them: If we consider that the daughter is the child of Mahesh's father, then she is Mahesh's sister. If it's the daughter of an uncle, then she is Mahesh's cousin.
Determining the Correct Option
- If Mahesh is introducing the girl as "the daughter of one of my grandfather's sons," and if that son is Mahesh's father, the girl would be Mahesh's sister.
- However, the phrasing can be slightly ambiguous. It could also imply a cousin if we only focus on "one of my grandfather's sons" in a broader sense.
Conclusion
Given the options provided in the question, the most direct interpretation of Mahesh's introduction leads us to conclude:
- The girl is Mahesh's sister, as he is most likely referring to his father when he mentions "one of my grandfather's sons."
Thus, the correct answer is option B) sister.
