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 blood relation puzzles, always work backwards from the last part of the phrase:
"My mother's only son" $\rightarrow$ Me (Ram).
"Son of Me" $\rightarrow$ My Son.
Therefore, I am his Father.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
This is a logical reasoning blood relation problem.
We can solve it by breaking down the possessive description step-by-step from the speaker's perspective.
Detailed Explanation:
Let us analyze the statement spoken by Mr. Ram:
- "He is the son of the only son of my mother."
First, identify who is "the only son of my mother" from Ram's perspective:
- Since Ram is a male speaking about his own mother, the only son of Ram's mother must be Ram himself.
Second, substitute this back into the statement:
- "He is the son of Ram."
Therefore, the boy in the photograph is Ram's son, which means Mr. Ram is the Father of the boy.

Step 2: Final Answer:
Mr. Ram is related to the boy as Father, which corresponds to Option (D).
