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.

Look at the options in A and D option we don't know the gender of P so leave it for moment look at option B here P is female cause P+S so leave it, now in option C start from left * mean Q's sister then + mean Q's sister mother . i.e mean Q's mother. Then - means Q's mother brother i.e maternal uncle.

Remember always start from left.

P - M + N * Q. According to above relationships between A and B given in the question.

Just follow. P - M = P is the brother of M, M + N = M is the mother of N, N * Q = N is the sister of Q.

So, N and Q are two sisters. And M is the mother of two sisters. And P is the brother of M. So now we got P is the uncle of Q.

P - M + N x Q, when we use the arithmetics , here why you are not taking the negative sign for M, while you are relating with M with N , when we use in mathematics we do as N-M so do explain, also you are dividing each then Y? we should use the signs.

I got the answer to the question. But I don't see why you need the * bit in the answer. Shouldn't it just be P-M+Q as Q is the child of M and P is the brother of M, making P the maternal uncle of Q. It is surely a more correct way of putting it?

P- M+NxQ

Now we have to find out the relation between p and q.

P-M means -ve sign denote brother of M.
M+N means +ve sign denote mother of N.
NxQ means x sign denote sister.

P is Maternal Uncle of q.

B) P + S x N - Q.

P + S -> P is the mother of S. It clearly implies P is a female. In the given question, P has to be the maternal uncle(-male), so we can conclude B is wrong option. :)

N''-----> Q.

M''------>P.

Friends mostly this kind of questions option is A or A option values change means in place of Q he give P and in place of P he give Q like that.

Lets move from back. N and Q are sisters. Now both N and Q are daughters of M. Clear!. P is brother of M. i.e., if you are the child then your mothers brother is the paternal uncle.
