UCAT/ UKCAT Question Analysis - Q56

In John's family, in each of the five generations, there has been one offspring, who was male. John has a son, who is also an only child. John has just one grandchild, who is also a boy.

John looks at a family photo and says 'the grandfather of this man's son is my grandfather's grandchild.'

Who is the man in the photo?

A. John's grandfather.

B. John's father

C. John

D. John's son

Answer: D

Explanation: 'My grandfather's grandchild' is John himself. Therefore the sentence can be rephrasedf as 'I am the grandfather of this man's son.' Therefore 'this man's son' must be his grandson. Hence this man is his son.
