If $A$ is the brother of $B$, $B$ is the sister of $C$, and $C$ is the father of $D$, how is $A$ related to $D$?

Question

Accepted Answer

Let's break down the family relationships step by step using standard notation:

1. '$A$ is the brother of $B$': $A (+) \leftrightarrow B (?)$ [Same generation, $A$ is male]
2. '$B$ is the sister of $C$': $B (-) \leftrightarrow C (?)$ [$A, B, C$ are siblings. $B$ is female]
3. '$C$ is the father of $D$': $C (+) \downarrow D (?)$ [$C$ is male, parent to $D$]

Since $A$, $B$, and $C$ are siblings, and $C$ is the father of $D$, $A$ is the uncle of $D$.

**Answer:** $A$ is the **Paternal/Maternal Uncle** of $D$ (specifically, brother of the father/aunt).
