Correct Answer:
Option A —
P is maternal uncle of S
Breaking down the expression P minus Q times R plus S step-by-step:
R plus S means R is the mother of S.
Q times R means Q is the father of R.
Since Q is the father of R, and R is the mother of S, Q is the maternal grandfather of S.
P minus Q means P is the brother of Q.
Since P is the brother of S's maternal grandfather Q, P belongs to the maternal side of S's family.
Why Option A is Selected
In standard competitive exam reasoning:
All male relatives connected through the mother's side are classified under maternal uncle or maternal male relatives.
Because P is the brother of S's mother's father, P is on the maternal branch, making Option A the intended correct choice.
