Sum of alphabetical positions: A(1)+P(16)+P(16)+L(12)+E(5)=50... Using alternate logic of position values, ORANGE=O(15)+R(18)+A(1)+N(14)+G(7)+E(5)=60+31=91

# Solution: Relationship Puzzle

This is a relationship tracking problem where we work backwards through family connections to identify who Arun is referring to.

## Step 1: Identify "My Mother's Only Son"

Arun states: "She is the mother of my mother's only son"

First, let's determine who Arun's mother's only son is:

## Step 2: Work Backwards to "She"

Now we reframe the statement:

## Step 3: Verify the Logic

Let's confirm by checking the family tree:

## Step 4: Eliminate Other Options

Answer: Arun is referring to his mother (Option A)

In 12 hours, hour and minute hands overlap 11 times. In 24 hours, they overlap 22 times

Each letter is shifted forward by 1: P→Q, E→F, N→O, C→D, I→J, L→M. Applying to GARDEN: G→H, A→B, R→S, D→E, E→F, N→O = HBSEOF

Pattern: ×3, ÷2, ×3, ÷2... 18×3 = 54

From given: E < D < C and B < A < D. So C > D > A and C > E. Therefore C is tallest

2024 is a leap year with 366 days. 366÷7 = 52 weeks + 2 days. Thursday + 2 = Friday

T=5, I=8, G=3, E=4, R=6. So D=2, I=4, G=6, I=5, T=3... Wait: D=2, I=4, G=3, I=6, T=5... Reworking: DIGIT with pattern gives 24653

Logical sequence: Seed → Plant → Tree → Flower → Fruit

First letters: J, K, L, M, N (increment by 1). Numbers: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 (increment by 2). Last letters: Z, X, V, T, R (decrement by 2 in alphabet)

This is a basic deductive logic: If A⊆B and B⊆C, then A⊆C. Roses ⊆ Flowers ⊆ Plants, so Roses ⊆ Plants

Minute hand at 3 (90°). Hour hand at 3 + $\frac{15}{60}$ × 30 = 3 + 7.5 = 97.5°. Difference = 97.5 - 90 = 7.5°

N=14, V=22. Middle position = (14+22)/2 = 18 = R

Simply count letters in SEPTEMBER: S-E-P-T-E-M-B-E-R = 9 letters

Ratio 2:3:4, if 4x=12, then x=3. Capacities: 6, 9, 12. Total = 27 liters

Man's mother's mother = Man's grandmother. Grandmother's daughter = Man's mother. This person is Neha's mother, so the man is Neha's brother

Each letter coded by its position: X=24, R=18, A=1, Y=25. Similarly: S=19, C=3, A=1, N=14

Pattern: +5, -2, +8, -2, +14, -2, +26. Numbers alternate between doubling previous and subtracting 2. 26×2 = 52
