Answer 1

Family tree

Let's break down Varun's statement:

"His mother is the wife of my father's son."

And then, "Brothers and sisters I have none."

Since Varun has no brothers or sisters, "my father's son" can only refer to Varun himself.

So the statement becomes:

"His mother is the wife of Varun."
