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.
