(a) Father

(b) Sister

(c) Aunt

(d) Mother

Correct Answer:

(b) Sister

Explanation:

“A’s father’s nephew” is A’s cousin. So, C is A’s cousin. We are also told that D is A’s cousin. Since C and D share the same relationship to A (they are cousins) and D is not the brother of C, the logical conclusion is that D is the sister of C.

(a) 140 meters

(b) 44.8 meters

(c) 70 meters

(d) 105 meters

Correct Answer:

(c) 70 meters
