@All.
Here, 1. Man is the only son of Tanya's Grandfather - which doesn't imply that the man is the only child of Tanya's Grandfather ( He doesn't have a son but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a daughter.
2. Man in the photograph has no brother and sister and his father is Tanya's grandfather - This concludes that Man in the photo is the only child of Tanya's Grandfather and hence he none other than Tanya's Father.
So, Option B is correct.

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.

But the question is "how is Tanya related to the man" and there is no statement specifying the gender of Tanya. Tanya can be his son or daughter. So, the answer should be D.

@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.
