Read the statements and answer: Nitin is the sister of Pooja. Pooja is the father of Rohan. How is Nitin related to Rohan?
Explanation
Translate each statement into a family link and keep generation and gender separate. Pooja is Rohan's father, and his sister Nitin is therefore Rohan's paternal aunt. Thus the path from Nitin to Rohan ends at the relationship Paternal aunt. Father is incorrect because the proven chain makes Nitin the Paternal aunt, not the father, of Rohan. Mother is incorrect because the proven chain makes Nitin the Paternal aunt, not the mother, of Rohan. Brother is incorrect because the proven chain makes Nitin the Paternal aunt, not the brother, of Rohan. These alternatives fail at least one decisive test: gender, generation level, maternal/paternal side or marriage connection. No extra relationship should be assumed beyond the two statements. As a cross-check, place Rohan at the reference point and trace backward through Pooja to Nitin; the same family structure is recovered without contradiction. Hence the only relationship supported by every statement is Paternal aunt.
