Re: Find the Relation

James your answer is correct. Let me explain how I arrived at this solution so that it may benefit others in this discussion. The way to approach such problem is to write the problem in short words and represent in a convenient diagram say in this problem:
A- Brother of B
E- Daughter of B
D - Son of B
which can be represented as
A
/ \
C-Sister B
/ \
E-Daug D-son

So uncle of D is A.
