Pointing to a photograph Anjali said, “He is the son of the only son of my grandfather.” How is the man in the photograph related to Anjali?

Brother
Uncle
Son
Data is inadequate

The correct answer is: C. Son

Anjali’s grandfather has only one son. The man in the photograph is the son of Anjali’s grandfather’s only son. This means that the man in the photograph is Anjali’s first cousin once removed.

A first cousin is the child of one’s parent’s sibling. A first cousin once removed is the child of one’s first cousin.

In this case, Anjali’s grandfather is the parent of Anjali’s father or mother. The man in the photograph is the child of Anjali’s father’s or mother’s sibling. Therefore, the man in the photograph is Anjali’s first cousin once removed.

The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the relationship between Anjali and the man in the photograph.

  • Option A: Brother. Anjali’s brother is the child of Anjali’s parents. The man in the photograph is not the child of Anjali’s parents. Therefore, the man in the photograph is not Anjali’s brother.
  • Option B: Uncle. Anjali’s uncle is the brother of Anjali’s parents. The man in the photograph is not the brother of Anjali’s parents. Therefore, the man in the photograph is not Anjali’s uncle.
  • Option D: Data is inadequate. This option is incorrect because there is enough information in the question to determine the relationship between Anjali and the man in the photograph.
