Question 8
MediumOriginal questionA is B's brother. C is A's mother. D is C's father. How is B related to D?
Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer C
Correct answer: C
Explanation
A and B are siblings, so C, who is A's mother, is B's mother too.
D is C's father, so D is the grandfather of C's children.
B is therefore D's grandchild.
Nothing in the question tells us whether B is male or female, so the answer must not assume one.
Worth noting
"A is B's brother" fixes A's gender, not B's. Grandson and granddaughter each guess, and a guess is wrong half the time.
