Correct Answer :

Option D

The Question cannot be answered even using any of the Statements.

Solution :

Correct Answer: The Question cannot be answered even using any of the Statements.


Step-by-Step Explanation:


1. Analyze the Question:
We need to determine the exact relationship of Q to P (i.e., whether Q is P's uncle, aunt, parent, etc.).


2. Analyze Statement I:
Statement I tells us: "P has two sisters, R and S."
This gives us information about P's siblings (R and S), but mentions nothing about Q.
Therefore, Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer how Q is related to P.


3. Analyze Statement II:
Statement II tells us: "R’s father is the brother of Q."
This tells us that Q is a sibling of R's father. However, it mentions nothing about P.
Therefore, Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer how Q is related to P.


4. Combine both Statements (I and II):
From Statement I, R is P's sister. This means R and P share the same father.
From Statement II, R's father (who is also P's father) is the brother of Q.
This tells us that Q is a sibling of P's father.
However, the gender of Q is not specified (Q could be male or female). Thus, Q could be the uncle (father's brother) or aunt (father's sister) of P.
Since the gender of Q is unknown, we cannot determine the exact relationship of Q to P even when using both statements together.


Conclusion:
The Question cannot be answered even using both of the Statements together.
