Son of Kamal’s son
Combining both the statements
From diagram, it clearly seen that relationships are of Grands. In given options, we have only the first option of Grandson, hence we go for A option “Amit is grandson of kamal”.
A is the father of C but C is not his son. E is the daughter of C. F is the spouse of A. B is the brother of C. D is the son of B.G is the spouse of B. H is the father of G.
