Verbal Reasoning - Blood Relation Test - Discussion

The Correct answer is D.

According to me, It is mentioned that "X said to his friend Y". Here, "His refers to Y not to X"!

So the answer should be option D.

You can see the statement that x said to "His" friend Y. So, here "his" determines that X is a male and that is how option B is correct.

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.

@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.

I think Nephew is the answer.

His is used for Y not for X. So, I think the correct answer should be option D.

The answer is B his is used for x not for y.

Option D should be the correct answer because the gender of X is not mentioned clearly. Although in the beginning it is written that X said to his friend but this also does not reveal the gender of X clearly.

From this statement, we get the gender of X's friend but not the gender of X.

How ? Because we have no idea about the gender of x. So we can't decide.

That it is son or daughter! Correct me, if I am wrong.
