Pointing to an old man, Kamal said, “His son is my son’s uncle.” How is the old man related to Kamal?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Father
Kamal’s sentence is worked out from the end, one link at a time.
“My son’s uncle” is the brother of the son’s father, that is, Kamal’s brother. (A mother’s brother would make the old man Kamal’s father-in-law, which is not among the options.)
The old man’s son is Kamal’s brother, so Kamal is also the old man’s son.
So the old man is Kamal’s father.
