Looking at the photograph of a man, Sanjay said, “His mother is the wife of my father’s son.” If Sanjay has no brother or sister, whose photograph was Sanjay looking at?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → His son
A man with no brother is the only son of his father, so “my father’s son” can only be the speaker himself.
Sanjay has no brother, so his father’s son is Sanjay himself
The wife of his father’s son is therefore Sanjay’s wife
The man’s mother is Sanjay’s wife, so the man is Sanjay’s son
So Sanjay was looking at the photograph of his son
