Correct answer: D
Concept: In blood-relation puzzles, a person who marries into a family takes an “in-law” relationship to their spouse’s parents: the husband of a couple’s daughter is their son-in-law. To find how any two people relate, first turn every sentence in the stem into a parent-child or marriage link, build one family tree from those links, then read the relationship straight off the tree.
Application:
Sukanya is Ayushman's wife, so Ayushman and Sukanya are married.
Lekha is Sukanya's sister, so Lekha and Sukanya share the same mother and father.
Nisha is Lekha's mother, and since Sukanya is Lekha's sister, Nisha is Sukanya's mother too.
Mukesh is Nisha's husband, which makes Mukesh Sukanya's father.
Piyush is Nisha's son, so Piyush is Sukanya's brother — Mukesh and Nisha's three children are Piyush, Lekha, and Sukanya.
Ayushman is married to Mukesh's daughter Sukanya, so Ayushman is Mukesh's son-in-law.
Cross-check: Viewed from Mukesh's side: his son Piyush's wife would be his daughter-in-law, while the husbands of his daughters Lekha and Sukanya are his sons-in-law. Ayushman, as Sukanya's husband, falls in that second group, confirming the relationship independently of the step-by-step trace.
Ayushman is Mukesh's son-in-law.
