Radha is the mother of Mohan. Mohan is the brother of Geeta. Geeta is the wife of Shyam. How is Radha related to Shyam?
Mother
Sister-in-law
Mother-in-law
Aunt
Mother-in-law
Quick Trick: Identify the gender of the subject: Radha is a mother (female), and the relationship is requested from Shyam's perspective (Shyam is a male). Since Radha is his wife's mother, she must be his mother-in-law.
Identify the gender of the subject: Radha is a mother (female), and the relationship is requested from Shyam's perspective (Shyam is a male). Since Radha is his wife's mother, she must be his mother-in-law.
Establish direct relationships
Radha is the mother of Mohan. Mohan and Geeta are siblings (Mohan is brother of Geeta). Therefore, Radha is also the mother of Geeta.
Analyze the marriage link
Geeta is the wife of Shyam. Since Radha is the mother of Geeta and Geeta is married to Shyam, Radha is the mother of Shyam's wife.
Final Conclusion
The mother of one's spouse is defined as the mother-in-law.
A: Mother is incorrect because she is not Shyam's biological mother. B: Sister-in-law is incorrect as the age gap and direct parent-child generation gap rule it out. D: Aunt is incorrect because Radha is the direct parent of Shyam's wife, not the parent's sibling.
C is correct because Radha is the mother of Geeta, and since Geeta is the wife of Shyam, Radha holds the relationship of mother-in-law to Shyam.
In blood relation questions, always identify the 'connector' person (in this case, Geeta) to bridge the gap between the two subjects.
