Pointing to a person, Abhijit states, "His mother is the only girl child of your father." How is Riya related to that person?

In this scenario, Abhijit states, "His mother is the only girl child of your father," referring to someone's family ties. To break this down:

• "His mother" indicates that the subject in question has a mother who is directly connected to the person being spoken to.

• The phrase "the only girl child of your father" implies that this mother is the sole daughter of the individual’s father, meaning she is the sister of the person talking.

Since Abhijit is identifying his own relationship to the listener's father, we can conclude that Riya, being the mother of the person Abhijit is discussing and the only daughter of the listener's father, means that Riya must be the mother of that individual.

Thus, Riya is directly related as the mother of the person in question, making the choice of "Mother" the correct relationship.
