Detailed Solution & Explanation
To determine the relationship between A and D, we will systematically analyze each given statement and build the family tree.
1. **Statement 1: "A is B's sister."**
This implies that A is female. A and B share the same parents. Representation: A (Female) --- B (Gender unknown) 2. **Statement 2: "C is B's mother."**
This implies that C is female. Since A is B's sister, C is also A's mother. Representation: C (Female) is the mother of A (Female) and B (Gender unknown). 3. **Statement 3: "D is C's father."**
This implies that D is male. C is D's daughter. Combining with the previous steps, D is the father of C, who is the mother of A. Representation: D (Male) is the father of C (Female). C (Female) is the mother of A (Female). 4. **Statement 4: "E is D's mother."**
This implies that E is female. This statement provides information about D's parentage but is not directly required to establish the relationship between A and D. Now, let's trace the relationship from A to D based on the established connections: * From step 2, we know that C is A's mother. * From step 3, we know that D is C's father. Therefore, A's mother is C, and C's father is D. This means D is A's maternal grandfather. If D is A's maternal grandfather, then A is D's granddaughter. Let's check the given options: (A) Grandmother: Incorrect, as D is male. (B) Grandfather: Incorrect, this describes D's relation to A, not A's relation to D. (C) Daughter: Incorrect, A is C's daughter, not D's daughter. C is D's daughter. (D) Granddaughter: Correct, as A is the daughter of D's daughter (C). Hence, **Option D** is the correct answer.
