Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's decode the given expression step-by-step from left to right:
1. P is the father of Q. (P is male).
2. Q is the husband of R. (Q is male, R is female).
3. R is the mother of S. Since Q is R's husband, Q is the father of S.
4. S is the brother of T. This means S and T are siblings sharing the same parents (Q and R).

From steps 3 and 4, Q is the father of T.
From step 1, P is the father of Q.
Therefore, P is the father of T's father, which means P is T's father's father (paternal grandfather).
