Please tell me the difference. Thanks.

I don't understand this part.
1.Which car is your brother's? My brother's car is in the garage.
2.Which is your brother's car? My brother's car is the one in the garage.
3.Which one is your brother's car? My brother's car is the one in the garage.

I don't know why no.2 and no.3 get the same answer, but no.1 get a different answer.

Can anyone tell me the difference?
  

Top answer

The same answer (that given for #2 and #3) would be appropriate for #1. The answer given for #1 suggests an unspoken 'None of them'.

How could you say that fivejedjon? I wonder! Really! The person is asking which is your car and the reply that was written is My car in there in the garage. How come?
