Introducing a boy, a girl says, "He is the son of my mother's only son." Who is the boy to the girl?

1. Brother
2. Son
3. Nephew
4. Cousin

Correct answer: Nephew

Solution

"My mother's only son" refers to the girl's brother (or the girl herself if she were male, but here the speaker is a girl, so it is her brother). The boy is the son of that brother, so he is the girl's nephew.
