Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Let Sudheer’s mother’s father be his maternal grandfather.
The “only son of my mother’s father” is the only son of Sudheer’s maternal grandfather, which means he is Sudheer’s maternal uncle.
The statement says the girl’s mother’s brother is that same person, so the girl’s maternal uncle is Sudheer’s maternal uncle.
Therefore, the girl’s mother must be a sister of Sudheer’s maternal uncle. Sisters of a maternal uncle are Sudheer’s mother or Sudheer’s mother’s sisters; in the intended interpretation, she is Sudheer’s maternal aunt.
