Understanding Blood Relation Reasoning
Blood relation questions test your ability to decipher the relationships between different members of a family based on the information provided. To solve these questions effectively, it's helpful to create a family tree or list the relationships step-by-step.
Step-by-Step Analysis of Relationships
Let's break down the given statements and build the family connections:
- Statement 1: P is the brother of Q.
This means P and Q are siblings. P is male.
- Statement 2: S is the father of P.
If S is the father of P, and P is the brother of Q, then S is also the father of Q. S is male.
- Statement 3: R is the brother of S.
This means R and S are siblings. R is male.
- Statement 4: T is the mother of R.
If T is the mother of R, and R is the brother of S, then T is also the mother of S. T is female.
Connecting the Family Tree Branches
Now, let's combine these statements to see the overall family structure related to P and T:
- T is the mother of S. (From Statement 4 and 3)
- S is the father of P. (From Statement 2)
So, T is the mother of S, and S is the father of P. This makes S the child of T, and P the child of S.
Determining the Relationship between P and T
Following the chain of relationships:
- T is the mother of S.
- S is the father of P.
Therefore, S is the son of T. P is the son of S (since P is male, brother of Q, and S is his father).
If S is the son of T, and P is the son of S, then S is the father of P. This means T is the parent of S, and S is the parent of P.
T is S's mother, and S is P's father. This makes T the paternal grandmother of P.
The question asks how P is related to T. If T is P's grandmother, then P is T's grandchild. Since P is male (brother of Q), P is T's grandson.
Summary of Relationships

| T | Mother | Grandmother | Self |
| R | Brother | Uncle | Son |
| S | Self | Father | Son |
| P | Son | Self | Grandson |
| Q | Child | Sibling | Grandchild |
Based on the analysis, P is the grandson of T.

Additional Information: Tips for Solving Blood Relation Problems
- Always assume relationships within a standard family structure unless stated otherwise.
- Draw a diagram or family tree to visualize the relationships. Use symbols for gender (e.g., circle for female, square for male) and connections (e.g., horizontal line for siblings, vertical line for parent-child).
- Break down complex statements into simpler ones.
- Work backward or forward from the known relationships to find the unknown one.
- Be careful with gender. The name doesn't always indicate gender unless explicitly stated or implied by the relationship (like 'brother', 'mother', 'father'). In this problem, P is explicitly stated as 'brother', making him male.
