Question

Ramesh says, "The boy playing football is the younger of the two sons of my father's wife." How is the boy related to Ramesh?Brother

• A. Brother
• B. Stepbrother
• C. Cousin
• D. Nephew

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Brother

Let’s analyze carefully:

• “My father’s wife” = Ramesh’s mother

• “The two sons of my father’s wife” = the two sons of Ramesh’s mother

Those two sons are:

1. Ramesh

2. Ramesh’s brother

“The boy playing football is the younger of the two sons...”

So the boy is the younger son. Since Ramesh is speaking about the boy separately, the boy is taken to be Ramesh’s younger brother.

So the answer is brother.
