Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Q, the Doctor, is the father of T. S, the Housewife, is the grandmother of T and hence the mother of Q. Since there are only two married couples - one being that of Q -, the grandfather of R, i.e. U, must be married to S. Thus, R and T will be both children of Q and these must be the students. So, P who remains, shall be the wife of Q and she alone can be the nurse. Thus, U must be the Contractor.
Clearly, for certain the males are Q, the father, and U, the grandfather.
