Consider the following statements:

1. Pointing to a man, a woman says : "His mother is the only daughter of my mother". The woman is the man's mother.
2. Pointing to a photograph, a man says : "I have no brother or sister, but this person's father is my father's son". The person in the photograph is the speaker's son.
3. Your father's wife's only sibling's mother is your paternal grandmother.

How many of the statements given above are correct?

  • A.Only one
  • B.Only two
  • C.All three
  • D.None

Answer: B

Only two of the statements are correct.

Statement 1 is correct. The only daughter of the woman's mother is the woman herself, so the man's mother is the speaker.

Statement 2 is correct. The speaker has no siblings, so 'my father's son' is the speaker himself. The person in the photograph has the speaker as father, so he is the speaker's son.

Statement 3 is wrong. Your father's wife is your mother; her only sibling's mother is your mother's mother, that is your maternal grandmother, not your paternal one.
