Step-by-Step Relationship Analysis

To solve this blood relation puzzle, we should break down the statement made by Mohan, starting from the end of the phrase and working backward.

The statement is: "His only brother is the father of my daughter's father".

1. Decoding "my daughter's father"

  • The speaker is Mohan.
  • Therefore, "my daughter's father" is Mohan himself.

2. Simplifying the Statement

By substituting "Mohan" back into the sentence, it becomes much clearer:

"His only brother is the father of Mohan."

And "the father of Mohan" is simply Mohan's father.

3. The Final Relationship

The fully simplified statement is:

"His only brother is Mohan's father."

"His" refers to the gentleman being pointed at. So, the gentleman's brother is Mohan's father.

If someone's brother is your father, that person is your paternal uncle.

Conclusion

The gentleman is Mohan's Uncle.
