About this MCQ
This Hard Analytical Reasoning MCQ checks one syllabus fact.
The question is: “A is the father of B. B is the sister of C. C is the son of D. How is D related to A?”
The accepted answer is B. Wife. “A is the father of B. B is the sister of C. C is the son of D. How is D related to A” is answered by Wife (option B). Option A (“Mother”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Wife.
