Solution
The family consists of 8 persons with two couples. Let's analyze the relationships systematically.
P is the son of Q and brother of R. This means Q is the parent of both P and R, making them siblings.
S is the daughter of M, who is married to R. This establishes the first couple: R and M are married, and S is their daughter.
W is R's nephew and the son of P. Since W is R's nephew, W must be the child of R's sibling. Given that P is R's brother and W is P's son, this relationship is consistent.
W has a sister V, so both W and V are children of P.
T is the aunt of S and mother of V.
Since V is P's child and T is V's mother, T must be married to P. This forms the second couple: P and T.
Since T is the aunt of S, and S is the daughter of R and M, T must be the sister of either R or M.
T cannot be R's sister (as T is married to R's brother P). Therefore, T is M's sister.
V is the daughter of T and P.
M is married to R, and T (M's sister) is married to P.
Since T is M's sister, V (T's daughter) is M's niece.
Therefore, V is related to M as a Niece.
The answer is Option 3: Niece.
