Pointing to a man, a woman said, 'His mother is the only daughter of my mother.' How is the woman related to the man?
Aunt
Mother
Sister

Whenever you see the phrase 'only daughter of my mother', it simply refers to the speaker herself (the woman). Substitute 'I/Myself' into the statement to solve instantly.

Analyze the phrase: The only daughter of my mother
Since the speaker is a woman, the 'only daughter of her mother' must be the woman herself.
Substitute the phrase into the sentence
The original sentence 'His mother is the only daughter of my mother' becomes 'His mother is [Myself/the woman]'.
Determine the relationship
If the woman is the man's mother, then the woman is related to the man as his mother.
A: Aunt is incorrect because the woman is the direct parent, not a sibling of a parent. C: Sister is incorrect as the mother-child relationship is explicitly defined by the phrase. D: Grandmother is incorrect because the generational gap described makes her the immediate parent, not the parent of a parent.
B is correct because the phrase 'only daughter of my mother' identifies the speaker herself, meaning the woman is the mother of the man she is pointing to.
In 'Pointing' type questions, always start from the end of the phrase provided by the speaker and work backwards to simplify the relationship.
