Answer 1

Answer:

a.brother

Step-by-step explanation:

r and p was respectively father and mother of x and q

but q is boy and x is girl

therefore q is brother of x

Answer 2

Answer:

Option (a); brother is correct.

Explanation:

The six family members are p, q, r, x, y and z related as follows -

• q is the son of r but r is not the mother of q, which indicates that r is the father of q.
• p and r are married couple.
• y is the brother of r.
• x is the daughter of p.
• z is the brother of p.

So we see that to find the relation between q and x, there comes two conditions relating to one person r, where q is the son of r and x is the daughter of r, since p and r are married couple.

Hence q is the brother of x.
