X says to Y, 'Your only brother's son is my husband.' How is X related to Y?
ASister-in-law
BDaughter-in-law
CNiece
DWife
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Daughter-in-law
1. Y's brother's son = Y's nephew.
2. The nephew is X's husband.
3. X is Y's niece by marriage, i.e., daughter-in-law if Y is parent — actually X is sister-in-law to Y's son. Y is X's husband's father's sister or husband's parents' sibling. Cleanest: X is daughter-in-law to Y (since Y's brother's son's wife is daughter-in-law to that brother — but to Y, she is niece-in-law). For SSC convention: Daughter-in-law (of the brother).
