Question

Directions: These questions are based on the following information.

In a family there are eight members, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, and W. V is the sister of the mother of U. W is the father of Q who is the brother of U. R is married to V. T is the father-in-law of W, S is the daughter of R.

How is P related to S?

The correct answer is

Maternal Uncle

W is the father of Q, and Q is the brother of U, so W is also the father of U.

The mother of U must be W's wife. T is the father-in-law of W, so T is the father of W's wife.

V is the sister of U's mother, so V is also T's daughter. R is married to V, and S is the daughter of R (and V).

Of the eight members P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W, the only one left to fill the place of U's mother (W's wife) is P. So P is the sister of V.

S is the daughter of V, and P is V's sister, so P is the sister of S's mother. On this reading P would be S's maternal aunt; the official key, however, gives Maternal Uncle.

Hence, as per the official key, P is the Maternal Uncle of S.
