Yes, I agree with you @Sushant.

Can any one explain How X is the son of the photograph? In "She is the only daughter of the father of my mother" already mentioned X's mother.

@Mks.

Father of my mother means his grandfather.

So his grandfather only has one daughter, it should be his mother.

No it can be determined without any doubts because there is mentioned that X is said to "His" friend X is a male because his uses for male or her uses for female.
