Solving the P-Q Blood Relation Puzzle

This problem requires us to decipher a family relationship based on a statement made by P concerning Q. We need to carefully analyze the connection described to find the correct relationship.

Analyzing P's Statement Step-by-Step

P makes the statement: "Q is the son of my father's only daughter." Let's break down this sentence:

1. "My father": This part refers to the father of the person speaking, P.

2. "My father's only daughter": This is the most crucial part of the statement. We need to identify who this person is based on P's perspective:

  • If P is female, then P herself is the only daughter of her father. Therefore, "my father's only daughter" refers to P.
  • If P is male, then P cannot be the only daughter of his father. The only daughter mentioned must be P's sister.

3. "Q is the son of...": This indicates that Q is the male child of the person identified in step 2 (either P or P's sister).

Determining Q's Relationship to P

By combining the analysis from step 2 and step 3, we can determine Q's relationship to P:

  • If P is female: Q is the son of P. This would mean Q is P's son.
  • If P is male: Q is the son of P's sister. This would mean Q is P's nephew.

Conclusion Based on the Provided Answer

The question provides multiple options for the relationship between Q and P. Given that the correct answer is "Nephew", the interpretation must align with the scenario where P is male. In this case, P's father's only daughter is P's sister, and Q is the son of P's sister. Therefore, Q is P's nephew.
