Question

II. Q is the brother of P.

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Hint:

In logical reasoning questions involving relationships, carefully analyze each statement and assess if the information is sufficient to answer the question. Often, combining statements may be necessary.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Let’s analyze both statements to see if they provide enough information to answer the question: - Statement I: "Q is the son of R." This statement gives us information about Q's relationship with R, but it does not provide any information about P's relationship with R. Hence, Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer how P is related to R. - Statement II: "Q is the brother of P." This statement tells us that Q and P are siblings, but it does not provide any information about R's relationship with P. Hence, Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer how P is related to R. - Combining Statements I and II: By combining both statements, we know that: - Q is the son of R (from Statement I), - Q is the brother of P (from Statement II). This allows us to infer that P is also the child of R. Therefore, P is R's child. Hence, Statements I and II together are needed to answer the question. The correct answer is (C).
