Sister-in-law

Solution :

Correct Answer: Sister-in-law

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how T is related to U, let us analyze the given information step-by-step to construct the family tree consisting of 8 members (P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, and W) across 3 generations with no single parent.

Step 1: Generation 1 (Grandparents)
• P is married to Q.
• P is the grandfather of W, which implies P is male and Q is female.
• P and Q form the first generation couple.

Step 2: Generation 3 (Grandchildren)
• W is the son of U, making W male in Generation 3.
• R has only one child, V, who is female. Thus, V is in Generation 3.

Step 3: Generation 2 (Parents and Couples)
• S is the sister of R, so S and R are siblings in Generation 2.
• S is married to U. Since S is female, U is male.
• W is the son of U and S.
• T is the daughter-in-law of Q, meaning T is married to a son of Q.
• R and S are the children of P and Q. Since S is female and married to U, R must be male and married to T.
• R and T are married and are the parents of V (ensuring no single parent).

Step 4: Relationship between T and U
• R is the brother of S.
• U is the husband of S.
• T is the wife of R (the brother of U's wife, S).
• Therefore, T is the Sister-in-law of U.

Thus, the correct relationship is Sister-in-law.
