Q. Pointing to a photograph a woman said, “She is the only daughter of my mother’s father”. How is the woman related to the person in the photograph?
a) Mother
b) Grand-daughter
c) Grandmother
d) Daughter
Correct Answer: d) Daughter
Question from UPPSC Prelims CSAT 2025
Explanation:
Interpret the statement step by step:
– “My mother’s father” = the woman’s maternal grandfather.
– “The only daughter of my mother’s father” = his only daughter. Since the speaker’s mother is a daughter of her father, and he has only one daughter, that person must be the woman’s mother.
– Therefore, the person in the photograph is the woman’s mother.
Hence, the woman is the daughter of the person in the photograph. So, the correct option is 4 (Daughter).
