Use of don't/ de quiIn the following sentence, "La chaise, don't/ de laquelle tu as cassé le pied, est maintenant inutile," I interpreted it to mean whose leg you broke and thus answered don't / de qui and not de laquelle. Why am I wrong?

Quiz question - is it correct?Kwiziq suggests that all the following are good answers: Le garçon dont tu parles s'appelle Thomas. Le garçon duquel tu parles s'appelle Thomas. Le garçon de qui tu parles s'appelle Thomas. I believe only the first is correct. I don't think you use use duquel for human beings and It cannot be de qui because it does not make sense because of the pronoun.

Why the verb is used in Conditional?Thanks so much for the great lesson. However, I am now really confused about why the sentence "You wouldn't think she is 90'' is translated into ' On ne lui donnerait pas 90 ans''? Why is the verb in Conditional? Thank you so much.
