Detailed Solution & Explanation
We systematically analyze the given relationships to determine the connection between Y and N.
Step 1: Establish the primary marital relationship.
X is the husband of Y.
This implies Y is the wife of X.
Therefore, X and Y form a married couple.
Step 2: Introduce the first generation offspring.
W is the daughter of X.
Since X and Y are a married couple (from Step 1), W is also the daughter of Y.
Thus, Y is the mother of W.
Step 3: Establish the second marital relationship.
Z is the husband of W.
This implies W is the wife of Z.
Therefore, Z and W form a married couple.
Step 4: Introduce the second generation offspring.
N is the daughter of Z.
Since Z and W are a married couple (from Step 3), N is also the daughter of W.
Thus, W is the mother of N.
Step 5: Deduce the relationship between Y and N.
From Step 2, we established that Y is the mother of W.
From Step 4, we established that W is the mother of N.
Combining these two facts, Y is the mother of N's mother.
The mother of one's mother is defined as the Grand-Mother.
Therefore, Y is the Grand-Mother of N.
Let's evaluate the given options:
(A) Cousin: This relationship implies children of siblings. Y is in a direct ancestral line to N, not a collateral one. So, (A) is incorrect.
(B) Niece: This relationship implies a sibling's daughter. Y is an ancestor of N, not a sibling's relative. So, (B) is incorrect.
(C) Daughter: This relationship implies a direct offspring. N is the granddaughter of Y, not the daughter. So, (C) is incorrect.
(D) Grand-Mother: This relationship perfectly matches our deduction that Y is the mother of N's mother. So, (D) is correct.
Hence, **Option D** is the correct answer.
