question (logical reasoning) While discussing's Pam's ancestry...

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

|dw:1460903714238:dw|

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

Aunt

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

how did u find tht

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

Correct?

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

No no none of these

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

no. it is given \(\LARGE mother\)

Mehek (mehek14):

they seem to be siblings and that's none of the choices

Mehek (mehek14):

because only daughter of your father would be sister

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

yeah right mother

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

His mother is the only daughter of his father Which means his father has only one daughter. which means she can only be the mother

Mehek (mehek14):

but they say the only daughter of your father so wouldn't they have the same father, making them siblings?

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

No the mother and Pam are siblings or atleast the same person

Mehek (mehek14):

oh wait you're looking for relations to the man not mother

Mehek (mehek14):

then yes mother if she's the only daughter

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

Either the answer is Uncle or mother

Mehek (mehek14):

mother because Pam is the name of a female

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

Or uncle because the person who named him was a mischief

Mehek (mehek14):

looool

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

m still confused

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

But since the option is none of these thats why Mother is selected

Mehek (mehek14):

but they don't mention any other children of the father except the daughter

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

|dw:1460817982535:dw|

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

No they just say Mother is only one daughter that doesnt mean he doesnt have any son

Mehek (mehek14):

|dw:1460904352858:dw|

Mehek (mehek14):

but no guy is named pam .-. it;s a female name

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

Thats an opinion not a fact

Mehek (mehek14):

nevertheless, mother seems the best option

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

ok i think mother is correct

Mehek (mehek14):

me too

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

yes becuase the option none of these isn't correct it implies mother is a wrong option

Mehek (mehek14):

it doesn't have to be wrong

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

Yes mother isn't wrong I am just saying Uncle can also be correct

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

But i am sure Pam would've answered the question instanteously

OpenStudy (baru):

the trick here is he says "ONLY daughter" Pams is a girl, her father has only ONE daughter so PAM is the daughter the man is her son

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

Yeah but that Pam is a girl part is an assumption

OpenStudy (baru):

strictly speaking, yes. but these sort of questions are flexible.

OpenStudy (faiqraees):

Yes mother is the correct and the only answer HERE but uncle can be correct if considered statistically

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

|dw:1460905972970:dw|

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Since the mother of the man is the only daughter of Pam's father, then Pam is that daughter, and Pam is the man's mother.
