Solution

Ritu’s father’s sister’s grandfather is Ritu’s father’s grandfather. His only son can either be Ritu’s father’s father or Ritu’s father’s uncle. So, his wife is either Ritu’s grandmother or her grand aunt. Her daughter would be Ritu’s father’s cousin or his sister. So, Riya is either Ritu’s aunt’s daughter (cousin) or her father’s cousin’s daughter (second cousin).

Hence: Usha is either sister to Riya ( sibling) or cousin sister. Hence either sister or cousin is the correct answer.
NOTE - Cousins share a grandparent. Second cousins share a great-grandparent.
