Question 17

HardOriginal question

P is the grandmother of R, and Q is the father of R. How is Q related to P?

Options for question 17

Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. P could be R's father's mother. Then Q, R's father, is P's son.

  2. P could equally be R's mother's mother. Then Q is married to P's daughter, so he is P's son-in-law.

  3. Both families fit the two facts and give different answers, so the relation cannot be determined.

Worth noting

The tempting answer is son, which silently assumes P is the paternal grandmother. The statement never says which side she is on.

Concept
A grandparent can be on either side of the family
