UGC NET Questions (Paper – 1)

P is stated to be the father of Q, so Q is P’s child. Q is the mother of R, so R is Q’s child. This makes R the grandchild of P through Q. Since P is male, his relationship to R is that of a grandfather. The reasoning follows the generational links step by step.

Option A:
Option A correctly identifies that P stands two generations above R: P → Q → R. Being the father of R’s mother, P is the maternal grandfather of R. This matches both the gender information and the generational structure.

Option B:
Option B, father, would mean P directly parents R, but the question clearly states that Q is the mother of R, not P.

Option C:
Option C, uncle, would require P to be a sibling of R’s parent, which is not the case here because P is Q’s father, not Q’s brother.

Option D:
Option D, brother, would place P in the same generation as Q and R, which contradicts the given description that P is Q’s father.
