Actually, D is the right one, due to pure elimination. According to the question, dollar sign separates father and son and nowhere we see s$q i.e. S is the father of Q. Hence, D is the correct one.

Hi Afroz, You are wrong. Correct answer is 'None of these'.

Reason:

Option B: Q (sister of) P (son of) S

P is son of S. Here the gender of 'S' is not given. 'S' might be Father or Mother.

So, we cannot say S is father of P.

Thats why the answer is 'option D'.

Q is the sister of P and P is the son of S which means P (male) and Q (female) are siblings. So S is the father of P and Q both.

Option B is answer not D.

Because,

Q is sister of P and P is son of S i.e. S is father of P.

As Q is sister of P hence S is father of Q also.

So answer is option B.

The correct option is D because None of the options work here, and hence, the answer is none of these (D).

Thank you @Sundar.

Then Q@S%P is the right answer.

Yes, Option B is correct.

Option B is correct and D is incorrect.

It's a simple theory that we need gender of only S not of Q gender.

Q & P is brother and sister (or sisters) and if P is son of S that means Q is son/ daughter of S too.

That also means S is the father of Q.

Option B is correct.

@Sundar.
Option D is correct only if " D: cannot be determined". None of these means any of the above cannot be right. But there is a chance of B getting right. So, the correct option B.
