In this type of questions, first, you need to find the word anywhere in the sentence ( is/as/was) and then at the palace of is/as/ was you put one equal symbol(=).

Then fix the equal symbol as reference , in right hand side apply the backward approach and un left hand side apply the forward approach.

Ex: He = the son of the only son of my mother.

Now go to the word my ( here talker is Suresh) I,e. Suresh says my mothers only son.it means Suresh is the son of a mother.

Now the obtained one is Suresh then go to next term of the son here final obtained word is a son so equate this;

He= son, here Suresh is the talker, so Suresh is the father of a son (he).

Which statement tells you that suresh is a male? Suresh can be a female. Merely having name 'suresh' doesn't specify whether it is a male or female. So if suresh is a male he would be father of the boy in photo and if suresh is female she would be paternal aunt of the boy.

But after looking at the available options only correct option is father. So the given answer is correct but given explanation is wrong.

"He is the son of the only son of my mother." Please observe the sentence that mentions "only son of my mother" it means mother has only one son that is suresh, hence the son (in photograph) of suresh means-Suresh is father of that boy.

If "only" would not have been there, it will mean mother would have more than one child (suresh) then answer would be different.

Yes @Nneka Vivian.

I agree, There is no clear mention about the gender of Suresh. In question, it is only mentioned that the boy in the picture is the only son of Suresh's mother. But by only son, it does not mean the only child. Hence, Suresh may be a girl also. Hence we can't assume it.

Therefore in my opinion the question is incomplete or there should be more options in the answer section.

As per the question, Suresh is the speaker. He says the only son of my mother. He clearly mentioned that it's his mother and the word only son means one son. So there are no chances of two or more sons. Suresh is the only son of his mother. The boy is the son of the only son of Suresh's mother.

Son of Suresh's mother is Suresh. Son of Suresh is the boy. Now, Suresh is the father of the boy.

@All.

According to my knowledge, the solution is;

Suresh said, "He is the son of the only son of my mother."

This means:

The boy in the photograph is the son of Suresh's mother's only son.
Suresh's mother's only son would be Suresh himself.

So the answer is:
The boy in the photograph is Suresh's son.
From Suresh's point of view : Suresh is the father of the boy.

Here Suresh is saying that the boy in the photograph is the only son of the son of Suresh mother now 1st understand this.

Suresh mother-son = Suresh.

Now, see here "'only son of the son of Suresh mother"'.

We know that Suresh mother-son is Suresh so, simply son of the son of Suresh mother then it will be Suresh's son. Then Suresh is the Father of the boy.

Let’s break it down step by step:

Suresh says, "He is the son of the only son of my mother."

The "only son of my mother" refers to Suresh himself because Suresh's mother has only one son.
So, the statement can be rewritten as: "He is the son of me (Suresh)."

Conclusion:
The boy is Suresh's son.
Final Answer: Suresh is the father of the boy.

In above question, the boy is the only son of the son of my mother it means as per second generation the Suresh is the son of his mother which has been clearly mentioned in the question and that boy is the son of Suresh.

Therefore Suresh is the father of that boy and his mother is the grandmother of that boy.
