Question from BPSC PT 71, 2025
Correct Answer: d) Father-in-law
Explanation:
– “My son” → Mukesh’s son.
– “My son’s wife” → Mukesh’s daughter-in-law.
– “My son’s wife’s daughter” → This girl’s mother is the son’s wife.
– Rita is said to be the mother of that girl, so Rita = Mukesh’s son’s wife (his daughter-in-law).
– Therefore, Mukesh is related to Rita as her father-in-law.
