Answer
Correct Answer: P - M + N x Q
Explanation
Decode the correct chain
- P − M: P is the brother of M.
- M + N: M is the mother of N.
- N × Q: N is the sister of Q ⇒ N and Q are siblings ⇒ they share mother M.
ConclusionM is Q's mother and P is M's brother ⇒ P is Q's maternal uncle.
Why others don’t work
- Q − N + M × P links P as sibling of M, but M isn’t shown as Q's mother.
- P + S × N − Q makes P a mother, not an uncle.
- Q − S % P relates S and P as father/child; no maternal link to Q.
