The correct answer is: Cousin.

P’s father is Q’s son. This means that P is Q’s grandson. M is the paternal uncle of P. This means that M is the brother of P’s father, who is Q. N is the brother of Q. This means that N is the uncle of P. Therefore, N is the cousin of P.

Here is a diagram to illustrate the relationships:

  • Q *
  • / \
  • P N

P is the grandson of Q. M is the brother of Q, and therefore the uncle of P. N is the brother of Q, and therefore the uncle of P. Therefore, N is the cousin of P.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • A. Brother: N is the brother of Q, not the brother of M.
  • B. Cousin: N is the cousin of P, not the cousin of M.
  • D. Data inadequate: There is enough data to answer the question.
  • E. None of these: N is related to M as a cousin.
