Q:

A woman going with a boy is asked by another woman about their relationship between them. The woman replied, "My maternal Uncle and the uncle of his maternal uncle is the same". How is the lady related with that boy?

A) Grandmother and Grandson B) Mother and Son
C) Aunt and Nephew D) None of these
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Aunt and Nephew

Explanation:

Clearly, the brother of woman's mother is the same as the brother of the father of boy's maternal uncle. So, the woman's mother's brother is the boy's maternal uncle's father. Thus the woman's mother's brother's son is boy's maternal uncle, i.e woman's mother's  brother's daughter is boy's mother.
