Explanation:

On the basis of information (iii) and (IV), it is confirmed that each group of three triplets will consist of two males and one female each. Since M is married to P, they belong to different groups and since N is Q’s only brother, they belong to the same group. And hence we get two possible sets of groups
M P M P
N (Male) O N (Male)
Q R R Q
2 Males 2 Males 2 Males 2 Males
1 Female 1 Female 1 Female 1 Female
A B
If Q is P’s sister-in -law then set A would be an acceptable set. Q is a female (being P’s sister-in- law), N a male (being Q’s only brother). As the given conditions in a group, there would be 2 males and 1 female. therefore,
M will be a n:ale but M can’. be male because N is Q’s only brother and therefore, M has to be a female. Since
there arises a contradiction,
