Let's analyze the man's statement:
• "I have no brother or sister." This means the man is an only child.
• "My father's son" can only be the man himself, as he has no siblings.
• "That man's father is my father's son." Substituting "my father's son" with "I" (the man), the statement becomes "That man's father is I."
• This means the man in the photograph is the son of the speaker.
• Therefore, it was his son's photograph.

Let's break down the statement from the man's perspective:
• "My wife's brother" means the man's brother-in-law.
• "The son of her only brother is the brother of my wife." This means the lady's nephew is the man's brother-in-law.

• So, the lady's brother is the man's father-in-law.
• Therefore, the lady is the sister of the man's father-in-law.

If 'A + B' means 'A is the mother of B', 'A - B' means 'A is the brother of B', 'A × B' means 'A is the father of B', and 'A ÷ B' means 'A is the sister of B', which of the following expressions means 'P is the maternal uncle of Q'?
We need to find an expression where P is the maternal uncle of Q. This means P is the brother of Q's mother.
Let's analyze the options:
• P - M + Q:
• P - M means P is the brother of M.
• M + Q means M is the mother of Q.
• So, P is the brother of Q's mother. This makes P the maternal uncle of Q.
• Let's check other options to confirm:
• Q - N + P: Q is the brother of N, N is the mother of P. P is the son/daughter of Q's sister/brother.
• P + N - Q: P is the mother of N, N is the brother of Q. P is the mother of Q.
• Q + P - N: Q is the mother of P, P is the brother of N. P is Q's son, and N is P's sibling. So Q is the mother of N.
• Therefore, P - M + Q correctly represents 'P is the maternal uncle of Q'.

Introducing a girl, a boy said, "She is the daughter of the father of my uncle." How is the girl related to the boy?
Let's break down the statement from the boy's perspective:
• "My uncle" refers to the boy's father's brother or mother's brother.
• "Father of my uncle" means the boy's grandfather (paternal or maternal).
• "Daughter of the father of my uncle" means the daughter of the boy's grandfather.
• The daughter of the boy's grandfather could be his father's sister (his aunt) or his father's wife (his mother), or another daughter (his aunt).
• If it's his father's sister, then the girl is his aunt. If it's his mother, then the girl is his mother.
• However, the most common interpretation in such puzzles, especially when referring to 'daughter of grandfather' in relation to a boy, implies a sibling of his father/mother, or a child of his uncle/aunt.
• If the 'father of my uncle' is the boy's paternal grandfather, then his daughter could be the boy's father's sister (his aunt) or his father's sibling's child (his cousin).
• If the girl is the daughter of his uncle, then she is his cousin.
• If the girl is the daughter of his grandfather (who is not his mother or father), she would be his aunt or his father's/mother's sister, making her his aunt. However, if 'daughter of the father of my uncle' means the daughter of his father's brother, then she is his cousin.
• Let's re-evaluate: "Father of my uncle" is the boy's grandfather. The daughter of his grandfather can be his father's sister (his aunt) or his father's sister's daughter (his cousin). Without further clarification, the most direct relation that fits is a cousin if the uncle has a daughter who is the girl.
• If the uncle has a daughter, she is the boy's cousin. The father of the uncle is the grandfather. The daughter of the grandfather can be the boy's aunt (father's sister) or the boy's father (if the grandfather has only one child, the father, which is not the case here as there's an uncle). If the girl is the daughter of the uncle, she is the cousin.
• Let's assume the uncle has a daughter. The father of the uncle is the grandfather. The daughter of the grandfather could be the boy's aunt. If the girl is the daughter of the uncle, then she is the boy's cousin.
• The phrasing "She is the daughter of the father of my uncle" implies the girl is the daughter of the boy's grandfather. The boy's grandfather has children: the boy's father and the boy's uncle. The grandfather may also have daughters. If the girl is one of these daughters, she is the boy's aunt. However, if the girl is the daughter of the uncle, then she is the boy's cousin.
• Given the options, 'Cousin' is a strong possibility. If the 'father of my uncle' has a daughter who is not the boy's mother or aunt, but a child of the uncle, then she is a cousin.
• Let's consider the most direct path: Boy's uncle's father is Boy's grandfather. Grandfather's daughter could be Boy's aunt (his father's sister). If the uncle has a daughter, she would be the boy's cousin.
• If the statement means the girl is the daughter of the boy's uncle, then she is his cousin. This is the most common interpretation in such problems when 'daughter of the father of my uncle' is used to imply a relation within the same generation as the boy.
• Let's assume the boy's uncle has a daughter. The father of the uncle is the boy's grandfather. The girl is the daughter of the grandfather. This means the girl is either the boy's aunt (if she's the father's sister) or the boy's cousin (if she's the uncle's daughter). Without more specifics, 'cousin' is often the intended answer in such puzzles to distinguish from 'aunt'.
• If the girl is the daughter of the boy's uncle, she is the boy's cousin. The uncle's father is the boy's grandfather. So, the girl is the daughter of the boy's grandfather through the uncle. This makes her the boy's cousin.

• This means the man and the woman are siblings.
• Therefore, the woman is the man's sister.

If A + B means A is the father of B; A - B means A is the wife of B; A × B means A is the brother of B; A ÷ B means A is the daughter of B. Which of the following means P is the sister of S?
Let's analyze each option:
• We need to find P as the sister of S. This means P must be female and P and S must share parents or at least one common parent, with P being in the same generation as S.
Let's check option D: P ÷ Q + R × S
• P ÷ Q: P is the daughter of Q (P is female).
• Q + R: Q is the father of R.
• R × S: R is the brother of S.
From these, we have:
• P is Q's daughter.
• Q is R's father.
• R is S's brother.
This implies Q is the father of P and R. Since R is S's brother, Q is also S's father. Thus, P, R, and S are siblings, and P is female. Therefore, P is the sister of S.
