Question: How is the girl in the photograph related to Kunal?
Statements:
- Pointing to the photograph, Kunal said, "She is the mother of my father's only granddaughter".
- Kunal has no siblings.
- Pointing to the photograph, Kunal said, "She is the only daughter-in-law of my mother."
Answer: Option
Explanation:
From I, we conclude that the girl is either Kunal's or his brother's wife. But, according to II, Kunal has no siblings.
So, from both I and II, we conclude that the girl is Kunal's wife.
From III, we find that the girl is the only daughter-in-law of Kunal's mother i.e. she is Kunal's wife.

How 3 alone can determine that she is the wife of Kunal? It didn't mean Kunal has no siblings.

Kunal's gender is not known and this is the basic rule of BLOOD RELATION that you cannot assume someone's gender based on the name.
So this question, cannot be answered by these three statements.
So this question, cannot be answered by these three statements.

This doesn't make sense. What if Kunal isn't married, and what if he has a brother who is married? And nobody even considers homosexuality.

It is given that the ONLY daughter-in-law that means her mother has only one son which is Kunal.

Yes, from 3rd alone, we can't conclude that the girl is Kunal's wife. So, the option is wrong, correct option would be 1 and 2 only.
