C.
Either I or II is sufficient
D.
Neither I nor II is sufficient
E.
Both I and II are sufficient

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
From I, we conclude that P is the mother of M and N, while Q is the daughter-in-law of P and sister-in-law of N. Thus, Q is M's wife and hence, M is N's brother.
From II, we conclude that M and N are the children of S. Also, R is the daughter-in-law of S and sister-in-law of M. So, R is N's wife and thus, N is M's brother. Hence, M is either brother or sister of N.
