Answer: Option
Explanation:

@All.
Here in the first case, they didn't tell whether Tanya's grandfather has how many children, that man can be a maternal uncle too.
So, Hence we cannot conclude, but in 2nd case,
We can see that the man has no siblings, so we can get a direct conclusion.

Here, the gender of Tanya is not mentioned so can we assume that Tanya is a daughter & the question had asked about how Tanya is related?
So the answer should be neither I or II.
So the answer should be neither I or II.

Statement I: “Man in the photograph is the only son of Tanya’s grandfather.”
This could mean the man is either Tanya’s father or her paternal uncle.
Statement II: “The man in the photograph has no brothers or sisters and his father is Tanya’s grandfather.”
This clarifies that the man has no siblings, which means he cannot be Tanya’s paternal uncle (since he would need to have a brother, Tanya’s father).
Given this, Statement II alone is indeed sufficient to determine that the man in the photograph is Tanya’s father, as he has no siblings and his father is Tanya’s grandfather.
So, the correct option should be B) II alone is sufficient while I alone is not sufficient.
This could mean the man is either Tanya’s father or her paternal uncle.

Here they have given as Tanya's grandfather so not as maternal grandfather so the only son must be his father according to option 1 and option 2 is indeed a correct option.
So, both 1 and 2 are correct according to me.
Anyone, Correct me if I am wrong.
