\(\bf\large\color{black}{If~Teresa's~daughter~is~my~daughter's~mother,}\) \(\bf\large\color{black}{~~~~~then~what~is~my~relationship~to~Teresa?}\) \(\bf\color{black}{(A)~Her~grandmother.}\) \(\bf\color{black}{(B)~Her~mother.}\) \(\bf\color{black}{(C)~Her~daughter.}\) \(\bf\color{black}{(D)~Her~granddaughter.}\) \(\bf\color{black}{(E)~I~am~Teresa.}\)

OpenStudy (adoni):

Oh, and no cheating!

OpenStudy (thatonegirl_):

E :)

OpenStudy (adoni):

That's what I originally got as well, but it's incorrect.

OpenStudy (thatonegirl_):

A??

OpenStudy (thatonegirl_):

ahh idk

I have to seriously read this over and over!! hahahaha

jabez177 (jabez177):

Her Mother.

jabez177 (jabez177):

If you think about it after like what, 20 mins... Teresa's daughter is my daughter's mother and my daughter is Teresa, so then I'm Teresa.

OpenStudy (adoni):

That's a good guess, but I'm going to let a few more people add their input before revealing the answer.

OpenStudy (bobo-i-bo):

So firstly, "I" am a woman. So my daughter's mother must be "me"... :P

OpenStudy (steve816):

Or it can be my wife maybe

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

C. Replace "Teresa's daughter" with you being her daughter and it works out.

OpenStudy (nvafer):

The daughter of your mother is the daughter of Teresa, so teresa is the mother

OpenStudy (adoni):

@skullpatrol is correct. Can you explain how you got the answer in more detail please?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Let's call Teresa's daughter Christine If Teresa′s daughter (Christine) is my daughter′s mother (so you're Christine), then what is my relationship to Teresa?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

|dw:1477792463972:dw| Who can \(I\) be?
