The board of directors of a closely-held company consists of five family members: Samar, Kiran, Harpreet, Daksh, and Ekta. The following relational conditions apply:
- Daksh is the son of Kiran, but Kiran is not the mother of Daksh.
- Samar and Kiran are a married couple.
- Ekta is the sibling of Kiran.
- Harpreet is the daughter of Samar.
Based on these statements, what is the exact relationship of Ekta to Harpreet?
- Paternal uncle or paternal auntCevap
- BPaternal aunt
- CMaternal aunt
- DMaternal uncle or maternal aunt
Cevap
Paternal uncle or paternal aunt
Based on the given statements, Kiran is the father and Samar is the mother of the children (Daksh and Harpreet). Ekta is described as the sibling of Kiran (the father), placing Ekta on the paternal side. Since the term 'sibling' provides no gender information, and we cannot assume gender from the name 'Ekta', the exact relationship must account for both possibilities: paternal uncle or paternal aunt.
