X is the father of Y, but Y is not the son of X. How is Y related to X?
Correct answer: A. Daughter
- A. Daughter
- B. Nephew
- C. Niece
- D. Cannot be determined
Explanation
If X is Y's father then Y is X's child, and since Y is not a son, Y must be a daughter. Puzzles of this shape exist to catch the assumption that a child is male by default. A nephew or niece would make X an uncle rather than a father.
