    Solution

    Only one person got lower rank than K’s daughter-in-law.
    Q is the sister-in-law of O and vice-versa.

    Q is the only daughter of K.

    O doesn’t have any siblings.
    That means, O must be daughter-in-law of K.

    K got higher rank than both L and M but not as much as P, who didn’t get the highest rank.

    Based on the above given information we have:ImageFor Ranking:

    __ P > K > L, M

    Again, we have:
    N is the only daughter of L, who got three ranks higher than N.

    Q is the paternal aunt of P, who got immediate lower rank than Q.

    From the above given statement we have:

    Q > P > K > L, M

    Again, we have:

    Q’s daughter got immediate higher rank than L’s wife.

    L is not married to K.

    That means, L must be married to O.

    Since, M is the only remaining person, thus M must be daughter of Q.

    The gender of K and M is not same.

    Thus, K must be the father of Q.
