The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Let's break down the given relationships: - \( P - K \) means \( P \) is the brother of \( K \). - \( K × Y \) means \( K \) is the father of \( Y \). - \( Y - J \) means \( Y \) is the brother of \( J \). - \( J ÷ S \) means \( J \) is the daughter of \( S \). - \( S + R \) means \( S \) is the mother of \( R \). Now, let's analyze each option: 
- Option A: \( K \) is the husband of \( S \). Since \( P \) and \( K \) are brothers, and \( S \) is their mother, \( K \) is indeed married to \( S \), so this statement is correct. 
- Option B: \( Y \) is the son of \( S \). From the relationships, \( K \) is the father of \( Y \), and since \( S \) is the mother of \( K \), \( Y \) is the son of \( S \), making this statement correct. 
- Option C: \( J \) is the daughter of \( P \). From the given relationships, \( Y \) is the brother of \( J \), and \( K \) is the father of both \( Y \) and \( J \), making \( J \) the daughter of \( K \), not \( P \). Therefore, this statement is incorrect. - Option D: \( P \) is the paternal uncle of \( R \). Since \( P \) is the brother of \( K \) and \( R \) is the child of \( K \), \( P \) is indeed the paternal uncle of \( R \), so this statement is correct. 
Thus, the incorrect statement is Option C.
