Correct AnswerFather-in-law
Incorrect AnswerPaternal grandfather
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
Let's break down the given expression step by step:
- R x T: R is the mother of T.
- T - Q: Q is the sister of T.
- Q ÷ S: S is the son of Q, making Q the mother of S. Therefore, T is also S's aunt.
- U + S: U is the husband of S, so S is male.
- P + R: P is the husband of R, so P is T's and Q's father. This means P is S's maternal grandfather.
Now, let's map P's relationship to S:
- P is the father of Q.
- Q is the mother of S.
- Therefore, P is S's maternal grandfather.
- Option 1: Maternal grandfather - This matches our conclusion.
- Option 2: Father-in-law - Incorrect, P is not S's father-in-law.
- Option 3: Paternal grandfather - Incorrect, P is related through the maternal line.
- Option 4: Uncle - Incorrect, P is a grandfather.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
Option 1: Maternal grandfather
