Pointing to a photograph, Rohit said, 'She is the only daughter of my father's only son.' How is the person in the photograph related to Rohit?
Sister
Daughter
Mother
Niece

Break the phrase starting from the back: 'Father's only son' refers to Rohit himself (since he is the only son), then identify the person as the daughter of that subject.
Break the phrase starting from the back: 'Father's only son' refers to Rohit himself (since he is the only son), then identify the person as the daughter of that subject.
Analyze the phrase Father's only son
Since Rohit is the speaker, 'my father's only son' refers to Rohit himself because he is the only son of his father.
Substitute and rephrase
Replace 'my father's only son' with 'Rohit'. The statement becomes: 'She is the only daughter of Rohit'.
Determine the relationship
Since the person in the photograph is the only daughter of Rohit, the relationship is that the person is Rohit's daughter.
A: Sister is incorrect as the person is of the next generation (daughter). C: Mother is incorrect as the person is identified as a daughter, not a progenitor. D: Niece is incorrect because she is the direct descendant of Rohit, not his sibling's child.
B is correct because the phrase 'my father's only son' identifies Rohit, making the person in the photograph his daughter.
In pointing-based blood relations, always look for the keyword 'only'. If the speaker says 'my father's only son' and the speaker is male, it is always the speaker himself.
