Question

Kishore says, ``that man's father is my father's son''. How is the man related to Kishore?

• A. Brother
• B. Son
• C. Father
• D. Grand Father

Hint:

In such riddles, first decode self-referential phrases like “my father’s son/daughter.” Usually it means the speaker unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Parse the clause ``my father's son''.
For Kishore, ``my father's son'' refers to Kishore himself (or possibly his brother).
Step 2: Use the main statement.
``That man's father is my father's son'' - the father of that man is Kishore (if we take it as self-reference).
Step 3: Relationship.
If Kishore is the father of that man, then that man is Kishore's son. Even if Kishore had a brother, the options given do not include ``nephew''; the intended unique relation is son.
\[ \boxed{\text{That man is Kishore's son.}} \]
