Answer 1

The correct option is D R and Y

Q is the son of R but R is not the mother. So, R is the Father of Q. P is married to R. So, P is the wife of R and the mother of Q, X is the daughter of P and hence of R and so she is the Sister of Q, Y is the brother of R and Z is the brother of P. Clearly. Y is brother of R who is a male. So, Y and R are a pair of brothers.
