MediumOriginal questionM is the sister of N, and P is a child of N. How is P related to M?
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer D
Correct answer: D
Explanation
P is a child of M's brother or sister N, so P is M's nephew if P is a boy and M's niece if P is a girl.
The statements never say whether P is male or female.
Two families fit the facts and give different answers, so the relation cannot be determined.
Worth noting
Nephew and niece each guess P's gender. Daughter would need M to be P's parent; M is N's sister.
