Verbal Reasoning - Blood Relation Test - Discussion

@All.

As per the given statement.

"She is the only daughter of the father of my mother.
“The father of my mother” refers to X’s maternal grandfather.
“The only daughter of the father of my mother” refers to X’s mother.
Therefore, the person in the photograph is X’s mother.
Determining the relationship between X and the person in the photograph:
Since X’s mother is the person in the photograph, X is the son of the person in the photograph.
In summary, X is the son of the person in the photograph.

We don't have any connection with what the gender of Y. Since X said to his friend Y, it is clear that X is Male. "She is the only daughter of the father of my mother".

'The father of my mother' means grandfather : It implies 'only daughter of my grandfather' which means 'my-mother'.

So it is clear, since X is male and is pointing to his mother, therefore X is the son which is the answer.

Hope this clears all doubts.

I think option D is the right answer, because.

Pointing a photograph X said to his friend Y, -------> 'his' indicates X is a male.

But "She is the only daughter of the father of my mother. " -----> 'She' indicates the person who is getting pointed is a female.

So this complete statesments shows both the genders of X, so the answer is D.

X is his/her friend. So his/her defines gender of friend not of X.

I will give you examples;
1. Ram said to his friend Vishal don't be late for the game.
2. Ram said to her friend Sanjana, don't be late for the game.
Here x=Ram and there is no way to know the gender of X. So option D is correct.

Consider x as yourself. Now, father of mother means maternal grandfather.

Now, 'only daughter of the father of my mother means' x's mother i.e.your mother.

That means you are pointing to your mother in the photograph which implies that you are her son.

See if this helped.

The correct option is D).

The only daughter of the father of X's mother' means the mother of X.

Hence, X is the child of the lady in the photograph.

But we do not know about the gender of X. He could be the son or the daughter.

So, the right option is D.

The only daughter of the father of X's mother' means the mother of X.
Hence, X is the child of the lady in the photograph.
But we do not know about the gender of X. He could be the son or the daughter.

So, option D.

Hi Pushpendra Singh,

Watch this "Pointing a photograph X said to HIS friend Y....".

Here X said to 'his' --> from the word 'his' we can find X is Male.

Hope you understand it. Have a nice day!

I think son is the right answer because according to the situation, that lady must be X's mother, so here doubt is about the gender of x, but they used the word his in the starting. So x must be a male.
