Looking at a portrait of a man, Harsh said, 'His mother is the wife of my father's son. Brothers and sisters I have none.' At whose portrait was Harsh looking?
Explanation:
Since Harsh has no brothers or sisters, 'my father's son' is Harsh himself. The statement means the man's mother is the wife of Harsh. If the man's mother is Harsh's wife, then the man must be Harsh's son.
