Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Answer: Wife (the speaker is Pramod's mother)

Reasoning:

  1. The lady in the photograph has a son who is Pramod's maternal uncle, so that son is a brother of Pramod's mother.

  2. The speaker says she is the only daughter of that same lady, so she is also a child of that lady and thus the sister of the maternal uncle.

  3. Therefore the speaker must be Pramod's mother; equivalently, she is the wife of Pramod's father.

Final conclusion: The speaker is Pramod's mother (the father's wife).
