Maternal Grandfather
Incorrect AnswerMaternal Grandmother
Incorrect AnswerCannot be determined
Correct AnswerExplanation:
Let's break down the statements step by step:
- U is the son-in-law of P. So, U is married to P’s daughter.
- Q is the brother-in-law of S. This means Q is married to S’s sibling, or Q is S’s spouse’s brother, but S has no siblings.
- S has no siblings and is the only child of R.
- R is married to P.
- T is the niece of Q. So, T must be the daughter of Q’s sibling.
Mapping it out:
- R (married to P) ? only child S.
- S has no siblings, so Q cannot be married to S’s sibling. So, Q must be S’s spouse’s brother (Q and U are likely brothers).
- U is married to S (since U is P’s son-in-law, and P has only one child, S).
- T is Q’s niece, so T is likely the daughter of U and S.
- Therefore, P is T's grandmother or grandfather (since S is the only child, P is the parent of S who is T’s mother).
Options:
1. Maternal Grandfather
2. Maternal Grandmother
3. Father
4. Mother
5. Cannot be determined
Since P’s gender is not specified, we cannot tell if P is the maternal grandmother or grandfather.
? Option 5 (Cannot be determined) is correct.
