Detailed Solution & Explanation
Let's decode the statement step-by-step:
1. 'your mother's husband': The lady's father.
2. 'your mother's husband's sister': The lady's father's sister, which is the lady's paternal aunt.
3. 'your mother's husband's sister is my aunt': This means the lady's paternal aunt is also the man's aunt.
Since they share the same paternal aunt, they are siblings (brother and sister). Therefore, the man is the lady's brother.
Note: The textbook answer key contains a typographical error marking this as Option B (Grandfather). The correct option is Option D (Brother).
Hence, **Option D** is the correct answer.
1. 'your mother's husband': The lady's father.
2. 'your mother's husband's sister': The lady's father's sister, which is the lady's paternal aunt.
3. 'your mother's husband's sister is my aunt': This means the lady's paternal aunt is also the man's aunt.
Since they share the same paternal aunt, they are siblings (brother and sister). Therefore, the man is the lady's brother.
Note: The textbook answer key contains a typographical error marking this as Option B (Grandfather). The correct option is Option D (Brother).
Hence, **Option D** is the correct answer.
