Detailed Solution & Explanation
To determine the relationship of R to P, we systematically analyze the given statements.
Step 1: Analyze the first statement.
"P is the husband of Q."
This statement establishes a marital relationship. It implies that Q is the wife of P.
Step 2: Analyze the second statement.
"R is the mother of S and Q."
This statement establishes a parental relationship. It implies that R is the mother of Q. It also implies that R is the mother of S, making S and Q siblings.
Step 3: Combine the deductions from Step 1 and Step 2.
From Step 1, we know that Q is the wife of P.
From Step 2, we know that R is the mother of Q.
Therefore, R is the mother of P's wife.
Step 4: Define the relationship.
In family terminology, the mother of one's spouse (wife or husband) is referred to as the mother-in-law.
Step 5: Conclude the relationship of R to P.
Based on the analysis, R is the mother-in-law of P.
Step 6: Compare with the given options.
The derived relationship is Mother-in-law.
Let's examine the provided options:
(A) Mother
(B) Sister
(C) Aunt
(D) Mother-in-law
Our derived answer, Mother-in-law, perfectly matches **Option D**.
Regarding the discrepancy with the user-provided "CORRECT OPTION: Option A":
The statement "R is the mother of S and Q" clearly indicates R is the mother of Q. Since P is the husband of Q, R is the mother of P's wife. The mother of one's wife is, by definition, the mother-in-law. For R to be P's mother, P would have to be R's son, which contradicts the information that P is Q's husband and R is Q's mother. Therefore, the assertion that Option A (Mother) is the correct answer is mathematically incorrect based on the provided premises. The correct derivation unequivocally leads to Mother-in-law.
Hence, **Option D** is the correct answer.
