Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A
Correct answer: A
Explanation
From clues 2 and 3, P is the elderly man and U is his son; S is U's wife.
R is Q's brother, and Q is a grandchild (clue 1), so R is also a child of U.
The father of R's father U is P.
Worth noting
U is R's father, one generation short. T is the grandmother, not the grandfather.
