    Tennis

    A mother , her brother, her son and her daughter are playing doubles tennis.
    Her brother is standing directly across her daughter at nets.
    Her son is standing diagonally across the worst player's sibling at nets.
    Worst player and Best player are not on same side of nets.
    Who is the worst player?

    Re: Tennis

    Well the according to me the answer has to be Her Brother!
    The reasoning is simple (correct me if I am wrong), now Her brother abd her daughter are diagonally across. That means her son is diagonally across mom whichever side she belongs to.

    Now, the question states that,
    "Her son is standing diagonally across the worst player's sibling at nets"
    So, son is across sibling of mom's brother(mom herself!).

    So, mom's sibling must be the worst player. Obviously it is her brother....

    Re: Tennis

    Why mother only? Her son can also be a possible answer.
    It is sure that Daughter and Brother are standing directly across.
    Now if Son is the worst player, his sister is his sibling and he can stand diagonally across her.

    So son can be an answer.
