Since it is not mentioned that grandfather is paternal or maternal. Given solution according to paternal grandfather. But if we consider, that the grandfather is maternal, then his son would be Anjali's Uncle and his uncle's son will be Anjali's cousin.

Thus the option D is appropriate.

Answer must be D.

Because grandfather means he can be father of Anjali's mother n not necessarily of father's father. If it was said that "her father is only child " then 100% he is her brother.

Exactly!

Here "son of the only son of my grandfather" is mentioned, but the grandfather has any daughter, nothing about this context is discussed there so the option should be D more precisely!

Here it is clearly mentioned "only son". There is a chance that grand father may have daughters and anjali is the daughter of them. (a possibility). So I think the answer would be 'D'.

Answer D should be correct.

Explanation:
Grandfather ----------Only Son(Father)----- Son (He).
Grandfather ---------- Anjali Mother----- Anjali.
Therefore Answer Should be 'D'.

Only son and only child are different things. Only son can also mean he has 1 son and 1 or more daughters.

So, grandfather's only son could be PAPA or Uncle.

@Harshu, me too think the same. Grandfather doesn't necessarily mean dad's dad. It could be mom's dad too. Me too think the answer could be D.

And also we can not confirm gender with the name. So I think Anjali's gender we don't know then. We can' t confirm A is the solution it may D.

Masa said:   3 years ago
No, if it were to be Anjali's grandfather then they would have written maternal grandfather.

So, answer A is correct.

It's mentioned as "only son". So there is only chance and that would be "paternal grandfather".
