Detailed Solution & Explanation
To determine how Vicky is related to John, we systematically break down the given statement: "Vicky introduces John as the son of the only brother of his father's wife."
Let's analyze the phrase from the end, working our way back to John's relationship with Vicky.
Step 1: Identify "his father's wife".
The pronoun "his" in this context refers to Vicky, the introducer.
Therefore, "Vicky's father's wife" refers to Vicky's mother.
Step 2: Identify "the only brother of his father's wife".
From Step 1, "his father's wife" is Vicky's mother.
The "only brother of Vicky's mother" is Vicky's maternal uncle.
Step 3: Identify "the son of the only brother of his father's wife".
From Step 2, "the only brother of his father's wife" is Vicky's maternal uncle.
Therefore, "the son of Vicky's maternal uncle" is Vicky's cousin.
Step 4: Conclude John's relationship to Vicky.
The statement says John is "the son of the only brother of his father's wife".
Based on Step 3, this means John is Vicky's cousin.
Therefore, Vicky is related to John as a cousin.
Comparing this conclusion with the given options:
(A) Son
(B) Cousin
(C) Uncle
(D) Brother
Our derived relationship matches Option (B).
Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer.
