Analyze all options and classify all(PQRS etc) as per generation. for generation see introduction (below link)
(+ M, -B, %F, XS)
now first option Q - N + M x P
Q N
M P
Q is brother of N means Q & N are from same generation.
N is the mother of M means M is next generation, and M is sister of P. It means M & P is from same generation.
separate lines for each generation
Q N
M P
now if you analyze above it shows Q is maternal uncle of M&P hence rejected.

now second option P + S x N - Q (+ M, -B, %F, XS)
P
S N Q
here relation is P is mother of SNQ rejected.
fourth option
Q - S % P
P
Q S , conc p is father of Q,S
now third option.
P - M + N x Q (+ M, -B, %F, XS)

N Q
P M , PM are brother sister, their mother is N and her brother is N hence this option is rit.
Further in above question + and % is separate generation.
- and x is separate generation.

1) Take it logically.
2) Let see the options.
3) All we want p on left side(as P is gona be related with Q) and Q on rite side.
4) Also we want * with Q on right side as he is P's mothers brother. Because brother sister relation is shown by * sign.
5) All this pointed toward option C.
6) Make family tree of c.
7) There u got the answer.
