Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's decode the given coded relational expression step-by-step:
P∗Q=R
Q=R: This means Q is the mother of R. (Q is Female)

P∗Q: This means P is the father of Q. (P is Male)

Now, putting it together:

Q is the mother of R.

P is the father of Q.

Therefore, P is the father of R's mother, which means P is the Mother's father (Maternal Grandfather) of R.
