of which/On which/for which

Under what circumstances do we use: 'of which', 'on which' and 'for which'?

I would appreciate it if you would kindly give me some examples. Thank you! Emotion: smile

As for 'in which', is it the same as 'where'? e.g.

This is the house in which the prisoner has been hiding for years.

This is the house where the prisoner has been hiding for years.

Thank you GG for the correction and the explanations. I really appeciate your kind assistance. So the best way is to break up the sentence in two in order to see if it is correct or not.
