Given that:
(A) P is the brother of Q
(B) R is the father of P
(C) S is the brother of T
(D) T is the daughter of Q
Who is the uncle of S?
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → P
An uncle is the brother of one’s father or mother. So we look for S’s parent and then that parent’s brother.
(D) T is the daughter of Q, and (C) S is the brother of T, so S is also Q’s child (a son). Q’s gender is not given, so Q is S’s father or mother.
(A) P is the brother of Q, so P is the brother of S’s parent.
Hence P is S’s uncle, whether Q is the father or the mother. (B) only adds that R is the father of P and Q, that is, S’s grandfather.
