Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Solution:

  • Given: P is the only daughter of R.

  • R is the grandmother of Q, so one of R's children is the parent of Q.

  • P is the only daughter of R, so the child of R who is the parent of Q must be P.

  • S is the sister of Q, so S is also a child of P.

Answer: S is a daughter of P.

Note: The standard interpretation of this puzzle assumes the parent of Q who is a child of R is the female child (P). Under that reading, S must be P's daughter.
