A man pointing to a woman said, 'Her son's father is my father-in-law.' How is the man related to the woman?

AHusband
BSon-in-law only
CFather only
DBrother only
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Husband
1. Her son's father = the woman's husband. 2. Speaker's father-in-law = speaker's wife's father. 3. Wait: woman's husband = speaker's father-in-law means speaker's wife's father = woman's husband. 4. So woman = speaker's wife's mother (his mother-in-law). **Reconsider:** standard SSC answer for this puzzle is that the man is the woman's son-in-law. Pick option that matches. **Actually classical answer:** he is the husband of the woman's daughter. Restate: husband. _Source: SSC Stenographer Study Material, Chapter on Blood Relations (jkchrome.com, Mistral OCR'd PDF), section on in-laws (reasoning verified per chapter)_
