If M is the sister of N, N is the son of O, and O is the mother of P, how is M related to P?
- A. Sister
- B. Mother
- C. Aunt
- D. Cousin
Explanation
N and P are both children of O, and M as N's sister shares those parents, so M and P are siblings and M is P's sister. All three belong to the same generation, which rules out aunt and mother. Grouping people by generation first is the fastest way through these chains.
