P says, 'Q is the son of my mother's only brother.' R is the sister of Q. Q has no other sibling. What is the gender of P certainly and how is R related to P?
P's gender cannot be determined, and R is P's cousin. Q and R are children of P's mother's brother, so they are maternal cousins of P. Nothing in the statement reveals whether P is male or female.

- BP is male; R is P's niece
- CP is female; R is P's aunt
- DP is male; R is P's cousin
Explanation
Q is the son of P's maternal uncle, so Q and R are P's maternal cousins. The statement gives nothing about P's own gender, so it cannot be fixed. R, daughter of P's maternal uncle, is a cousin. Options fixing P's gender are unsupported.
