Her mother is Gourav's mother or aunt... I don't know.... it's unclear.

Considering the way the thing is phrased.... I'd say someone is illegitimate...

Good try but there is a correct answer (it's not a trick question, you just have to think about it)


I think there are unspecified assumptions going on here.  Have either Gourav's or the girl on stage's parents been married to and had kids with other people?  Then there is the possibility of adoption.  

While the mother of the girl on stage had only one brother, did she have any sisters?  While Gourav's mother brother was his father's only son, the girl's mother need not be that father's only daughter.  If Gourav is the son of a sister, that makes Gourav and the girl on stage cousins.  If the girl's mother is the only daughter, they Gourav and the girl on stage are brother and sister .. assuming neither is adopted or a half-sibling.

Are there any assumptions you think we should make here, Pool?
