Question

Pointing to a man in a photograph, a women said, "the father of his brother is the only son of my grandfather". how is the women related to the man in the photograph?

Accepted Answer

Option d: Sister. Solution: Let's systematically decode the woman's statement: 1. 'his brother': The man's brother. 2. 'the father of his brother': The father of the man's brother, which is also the man's father. 3. 'the only son of my grandfather': Assuming paternal grandfather, the only son of the woman's grandfather is the woman's father. 4. Combining these: The man's father is the woman's father. Since they share the same father, the woman is the sister of the man in the photograph. Note: The textbook answer key has a typographical error marking this as Option A (Mother). The logically correct choice is Option D (Sister). Hence, Option D is the correct answer.
