Explanation

Sex: P and S are females. T is a husband, so he must be a male. Q is a brother and so he must be a male. The one remaining is R. Since T is a husband and since the two ladies P and S are unmarried, R must be the wife of T. Hence R is a female.
Marital status: Pand S are unmarried. R and T are married to each other Whether Q is married or not is not known.
Favourite sport: P and S don.t play anything. Out of the remaining three, one plays football, another chess and another hockey. R is a lady and no lady plays football or chess. Hence, R plays hockey. Q plays neither chess nor hockey. Hence, Q must be playing football. Hence, T plays the only remaining Sport, chess.
