Pointing to a photograph of a person James said, the person in the photogrpah is my maternal grandfather's only son's son. How is the person in the photograph related to James?
- Father
- Cousin
- Brother
- Son
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Let’s carefully analyze the description: James is referring to his maternal grandfather’s only son. James’ maternal grandfather’s only son is James’ mother’s brother, i.e., James’ maternal uncle. The phrase ”only son’s son” refers to the son of James’ maternal uncle, which makes the person in the photograph James’ cousin.
Thus, the person in the photograph is James’ cousin because he is the son of James’ maternal uncle.
It’s essential to note that James did not say he was looking at a photograph of his own brother, and the term ”only son” refers to the only son of James’ maternal grandfather, which points to the cousin relationship.
Conclusion: Not applicable in this case, as the conclusion is embedded within the explanation.
Top Questions on Blood Relations
In a small town lived a close-knit family where every relation could be expressed through simple symbols. For instance, when they said \( A \times B \), it meant \( A \) is the father of \( B \), while \( A \div B \) meant \( A \) is the mother of \( B \). The younger ones were often introduced with \( A + B \), meaning \( A \) was the daughter of \( B \), and the bond of brotherhood was shown by \( A - B \) (A is brother of B).
One day, the children in the family turned these symbols into a playful code. Instead of introducing their parents and siblings in words, they spoke only in symbols. “Look,” giggled little Meena, “\( M + N \div O \)!” Everyone laughed, because they knew it meant Meena was the daughter of \( N \), and \( N \) was the mother of \( O \), making her \( O \)’s sister. What started as a code soon became a family game, making the bonds of father, mother, daughter, and brother not just relations, but symbols of love and togetherness. (165 words)
