Explanation:
Q's mother is P's sister and M's daughter, so M is parent of P's sister and P. Thus M is grandparent of T (child of P). 'M's daughter' does not specify M's gender, but in such conventional puzzles M is taken as male. Therefore M is either maternal or paternal grandfather of T.
If P $ Q means P is the brother of Q; P # Q means P is the mother of Q; P * Q means P is the daughter of Q. If the expression is A # B $ C * D, who is the father?
Explanation:
A # B means A is the mother of B. B $ C means B is the brother of C, so A is also the mother of C. C * D means C is the daughter of D. Since A is already the mother of C, D must be the father of C (and B).
