Pointing to a man in a photograph Mohan says, "He is the son of my wife's mother-in-law." How is the man related to Mohan?
Options:
Son
Brother
Brother in law
Father in law
Correct Answer:
Brother
Explanation:
Let's analyze the statement step by step:
Mohan's wife's mother-in-law = Mohan's mother.
(The mother-in-law of Mohan's wife is Mohan's mother.)
Therefore, "the son of my wife's mother-in-law" = the son of Mohan's mother.
The son of Mohan's mother could be Mohan himself or Mohan's brother. Since Mohan is pointing to another man in the photograph, it refers to Mohan's brother.
