If 'A' is the father of 'B', and 'B' is the brother of 'C', then how is 'A' related to 'C'?
Father
Uncle
Brother
Grandfather
Father
Since B and C are siblings, they share the same parents. Therefore, if A is the father of B, A is also the father of C.
Since B and C are siblings, they share the same parents. Therefore, if A is the father of B, A is also the father of C.
Identify Parent-Child Link
A is stated to be the father of B, placing A in the parent generation above B.
Establish Sibling Connection
B is the brother of C, meaning B and C are siblings and belong to the same generation sharing the same parents.
Determine Final Relation
Because C is a sibling of B, A's relationship as father to B extends directly to C as well.
B: Uncle is wrong because A is the direct parent, not an uncle; C: Brother is wrong because A is in the older parent generation; D: Grandfather is wrong because the generational gap is only one level, not two.
A is correct because A is the father of B, and since B and C are siblings, A is also the father of C.
Always map siblings together under the same parent node in family tree diagrams to quickly resolve multi-person relation questions.
