Pointing to a photograph, a man says, 'I have no brother or sister, but that man's father is my father's son.' Whose photograph is it?
His son
His father
Himself
His nephew
His son
Whenever a speaker says 'I have no brother or sister', the phrase 'my father's son' always refers to the speaker himself.
Whenever a speaker says 'I have no brother or sister', the phrase 'my father's son' always refers to the speaker himself.
Analyze the Speaker's status
The man states, I have no brother or sister. This means 'my father's son' can only refer to the speaker himself.
Substitute the phrase
Replace 'my father's son' with 'the speaker' (man). The sentence becomes: 'that man's father is the speaker'.
Identify the relationship
If the father of the person in the photograph is the speaker, then the person in the photograph must be the speaker's son.
B: The speaker is the father, not the person in the photo. C: The speaker is the father, and the photo is of his descendant. D: No information implies the nephew is the son of the speaker's father's son.
A is correct because the speaker identifies himself as the father of the person in the photograph, making the person in the photograph his son.
In any blood relation question involving a speaker with no siblings, the term 'my father's son' or 'my mother's son' always simplifies to 'myself'.
