Question

Pointing to a photograph of a boy Mr. Ram said, “He is the son of the only son of my mother.” How is Mr. Ram related to that boy?

• A. Brother
• B. Uncle
• C. Cousin
• D. Father

Hint:

For kinship problems, resolve innermost possessives first (“only son of my mother”), substitute back, and then read the whole sentence again.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Decode the inner phrase.
“The only son of my} mother” \(\) Ram’s mother has only one son. Since Ram himself is a son, and the phrase says “only son,” that person must be Ram.
Step 2: Substitute back into the sentence.
“He is the son of the only son of my mother” \(\) “He is the son of Ram.”
Step 3: Conclude the relationship.
If the boy is the son of Ram}, then Ram is the boy’s father. Hence option (d).
\[ \boxed{\text{Father (Option (d)}} \]
