Show the answer and the worked solution
Correct answer: B. Granddaughter
Worked solution
- Raman is Mahipal's son.
- Anita is Raman's daughter, and Bindu is Anita's sister, so Bindu is also Raman's daughter.
- Bindu is Mahipal's granddaughter.
Answer: Granddaughter.
The idea
Neena's own position is a distraction: the chain from Bindu to Mahipal runs entirely through Raman.
Shortcut. Bindu is Raman's daughter and Raman is Mahipal's son: two generations down means granddaughter. Neena is not on the path.
Common trap. "Daughter" — dropping Raman's generation, as though Bindu were Raman's sister rather than his daughter.
