only brother’s daughter”. How is Raghav’s father related to that girl’s mother?

Accepted Answer

Let's break down the relationship: 'my father’s mother’s daughter’s only brother’s daughter'. Raghav's father's mother's daughter is Raghav's aunt. Her only brother is Raghav's father. So, 'my father’s mother’s daughter’s only brother’s daughter' simplifies to 'Raghav's father's daughter', meaning Raghav's sister. The question asks how Raghav's father is related to the girl's mother. Since the girl is Raghav's sister, Raghav's father is the girl's father. Therefore, Raghav's father is the husband of the girl's mother.
