Establish Generation 1 and 2
R and S are a married couple (R is husband, S is wife). Since Q is the daughter of R, Q is also the daughter of S.
Incorporate P and T
P is the brother of Q, so P is the son of R and S. S is the sister of T, which means T is the maternal aunt or uncle of P.
Identify Relation
Since P is the son of S, and S is the sister of T, T is the sibling of P's mother. Therefore, P is the nephew (sister's son) of T.
A: Brother's son is incorrect as P is not the son of T's brother; B: Brother is incorrect as P belongs to a younger generation; C: Son is incorrect as T is P's uncle/aunt, not his parent.
D is correct because P is the child of S, and S is the sister of T, which logically makes P the sister's son of T.
In blood relation questions involving siblings of parents, always identify the 'linking' person first; here, the link is S (the parent).
