About this MCQ
This Easy Analytical Reasoning MCQ checks one syllabus fact.
The question is: “A's father is C. C has two children, A and B. B is married to D. How is D related to A?”
The accepted answer is B. Sister-in-law. “A's father is C. C has two children, A and B. B is married to D. How is D related to A” is answered by Sister-in-law (option B). Option A (“Sister”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Sister-in-law. Option C (“Cousin”) does not match the stem; it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of Sister-in-law. Remaining alternatives (Aunt) fall outside the same rule and should be eliminated once Sister-in-law is identified.

Analytical Reasoning recall of this distinction is a regular item in FPSC, PPSC, NTS, and CSS papers.
