Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Solution: Parse the expression step by step.

  • P + Q means P is the sister of Q. So P is female and a sibling of Q.

  • Q > A means Q is the son of A. Therefore Q is a child of A. Since P is Q's sister, P is also a child of A.

  • A - B means A is the brother of B. So A and B are siblings, and A's children are nieces or nephews of B.

Conclusion: P is the niece of B.
