Select an option to attempt

Explanation

Let us break down the given information step-by-step to determine the relationship between QQ and SS:

Step 1: Determine the genders of SS and RR

  • We are given that SS is the mother of TT. This means SS is a female.
  • We are also given that SS is RR's spouse. Since SS is a female, her spouse RR must be a male (husband of SS).

Step 2: Determine the gender of QQ

  • We are given that QQ and RR are the children of PP.
  • The first statement says PP has exactly one son and one daughter.
  • Since we already established that RR is a male, RR is the son of PP.
  • Therefore, the other child, QQ, must be the daughter of PP. This makes QQ a female and the sister of RR.

Step 3: Find the relationship between QQ and SS

  • QQ is the sister of RR.
  • RR is the husband of SS.
  • Hence, QQ is the sister of the husband of SS (which also means QQ is the sister-in-law of SS).

Comparing this conclusion with the given options, Option D perfectly matches our deduction.
