Question

Pointing to a photograph, a man says, “I have no brother or sister, but that man's father is my father's son.” Who is in the photo?

• A. His father
• B. His son
• C. His nephew
• D. Himself

Hint:

When a person says “my father's son” and he has no siblings, it refers to himself.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept: Such reasoning problems require interpreting family relationships logically.

Step 1: Analyze the statement. The man says he has no brother or sister. Thus, “my father's son” must refer to the man himself.

Step 2: Interpret the sentence. The statement becomes: \[ \text{That man's father is me.} \]

Step 3: Conclusion. If the man in the photograph has the speaker as his father, then the photograph must be of his son.
