Detailed Solution & Explanation
Let's systematically analyze the given relationships to determine how S is related to P.
1. **P is the son of Q.**
* This establishes P as male.
* Q is the parent of P.
2. **Q & R are sisters to one another.**
* This implies Q is female.
* This implies R is female.
* Q and R share the same parents.
3. **T is the mother of R.**
* This establishes T as female.
* Since Q and R are sisters (from step 2), and T is the mother of R, T must also be the mother of Q.
* Thus, T is the mother of both Q and R.
4. **S is son of T.**
* This establishes S as male.
* From step 3, we know T is the mother of Q and R. Now we know T is also the mother of S.
* Therefore, Q, R, and S are siblings. Specifically, S is the brother of Q and R.
Now, we need to determine the relationship between S and P.
* From step 4, S is the brother of Q.
* From step 1, Q is the mother of P.
Combining these two facts: S is the brother of P's mother.
The brother of one's mother is known as the Maternal Uncle.
Therefore, S is the Maternal Uncle of P.
Let's evaluate the given options:
(A) Cousin: Incorrect. A cousin is the child of an aunt or uncle.
(B) Brother: Incorrect. S and P do not share the same parents.
(C) Maternal uncle: Correct. This matches our derived relationship.
(D) Nephew: Incorrect. P would be the nephew of S, not S being the nephew of P.
Hence, **Option C** is the correct answer.
