Question

If Golu is son of Molu, Molu and Polu are sisters, Pillu is Polu's mother, Gannu is son of Pillu, which of the following statements is definitely true?

• A. Golu and Gannu are cousins
• B. Golu's nephew is Gannu
• C. Golu's maternal uncle is Gannu
• D. None of the option is correct

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To solve the problem, we must analyze the family relationships described:

• Golu is the son of Molu.
• Molu and Polu are sisters. This implies that they share the same mother.
• Pillu is the mother of Polu. This means Pillu is also the mother of Molu. Therefore, Pillu is the grandmother of Golu.
• Gannu is the son of Pillu, making Gannu the brother of both Molu and Polu, since Pillu is their mother.

Now let's evaluate the statements:

• Golu and Gannu are cousins: This is not possible because Golu is the nephew of Gannu.
• Golu's nephew is Gannu: This is incorrect because Golu is younger than Gannu, and Gannu is Golu's uncle.
• Golu's maternal uncle is Gannu: This is correct because Gannu, being the brother of Molu (Golu's mother), is indeed Golu's maternal uncle.
• None of the option is correct: This is incorrect because the third option is true.

Hence, the statement that is definitely true is:

Golu's maternal uncle is Gannu.
