Possessive relative pronoun 'whose' and 'of which' / 'of whom'
1. I received a phone call from a girl whose voice was cute.
2. I received a phone call from a girl , of which the voice was cute.
3. I received a phone call from a girl, the voice of which was cute.
4. I received a phone call from a girl, of whom the voice was cute.
5. I received a phone call from a girl, the voice of whom was cute.
Sentence 1, 2 and 3 are the way I was taught about possessive relative pronouns. However I wonder if sentence 2 and 3 are right. The antecedent of the sentence is ' a girl', which make me think sentence 4 and 5 are other correct forms of sentence 1.
In short, Which are grammatical?
Thanks in advance.
