In which or of which?

I would appreciate if you could tell me when do I use " ...in which..." and "...of which...". Thanks in advance.

Use them in the same situations in which you would use 'in' or 'of' in speech or informal writing, but for which you wish a more formal expression: 'This is the basket I arrived in' -- 'This is the basket in which I arrived'. 'He is the son I am proudest of' -- 'He is the son of whom I am most proud'.
