Question

Pointing at Ankit, Shruti said: “his father is the only son of my grandfather.” How is Ankit related to Shruti?

• A. Sister
• B. Daughter
• C. Mother
• D. Brother

Hint:

When a statement contains “the only son of my grandfather,” it points to the speaker’s father. If “his father” equals that person, the subject is the speaker’s sibling; use the given name’s gender to choose brother/sister.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Decode the statement.
“My grandfather” = Shruti’s grandfather.
“The only son of my grandfather” = Shruti’s father (since he is the sole son).
Step 2: Relate Ankit.
“His father is the only son of my grandfather” $⇒$ Ankit’s father = Shruti’s father.
Therefore, Ankit and Shruti share the same father $⇒$ they are siblings.
Step 3: Determine gender.
Ankit is male; hence he is Shruti’s brother. \[ \boxed{\text{Brother}} \]
