Looking at a portrait of a man, Sanjay said,
“His mother is the wife of my father’s son. Brothers and sisters I have none.”
At whose portrait was Sanjay looking?
Sanjay said — “His mother is the wife of my father’s son.”
→ ‘My father’s son’ = Sanjay himself (since he has no brothers).
Hence, the man’s mother is Sanjay’s wife.
Therefore, the man is Sanjay’s son.

Friendship is not a transitive relation, i.e., if K is a friend of M and L is K’s brother, it does not imply L is a friend of M.
Hence, the statement can be true or false depending on context.
$\boxed{\text{Answer: (C) probably false or true}}$
Sunil is the son of Kesav. Simran (Kesav’s sister) has a son Maruti and daughter Sita.
Prem is the maternal uncle of Maruti. How is Sunil related to Maruti?
Amar’s mother’s father = Amar’s maternal grandfather.
His only son = Amar’s maternal uncle.
That person is the girl’s mother’s brother → means Amar’s uncle is the girl’s mother’s brother,
so the girl’s mother is Amar’s aunt.
B’s sister is C. C’s son is D and daughter is E.
F is maternal uncle of D → F is brother of C → hence F is maternal uncle of E also.
Therefore, E is niece of F.
