Let's analyze the relationship step-by-step:

  • "q’s son" means q has a son.
  • "the son of q’s son" means q’s son has a son (which is q’s grandson).
  • "p is the brother of the son of q’s son" means p is the brother of q’s grandson.

Since p and the son of q’s son are brothers, both are sons of q’s son. Therefore: p is also a grandson of q.

Final answer:

p is q’s grandson.
