Question

Pointing to a picture, Sihiti says, ``He is the son of the only son of my son of my grandfather.'' What relation exists between Sihiti and the person in the picture?

Hint:

For blood relation problems: \begin{itemize} \item Start from the innermost relation, \item Move step by step generation-wise, \item Draw a quick family tree if needed. \end{itemize}

Answer 1

Step 1: ``My grandfather'' refers to Sihiti’s grandfather.
Step 2: ``My son of my grandfather'' means the son of the grandfather, i.e., Sihiti’s father.
Step 3: ``The only son of my father'' refers to Sihiti himself.
Step 4: ``The son of me'' means Sihiti’s son.
Step 5: However, since Sihiti is pointing to a person of the same generation and the only son condition applies to the father, the statement logically resolves to the person being Sihiti’s brother.
