‘A # B’ means ‘A is the brother of B’. ‘A @ B’ means ‘A is the daughter of B’. ‘A & B’ means ‘A is the husband of B’. ‘A % B’ means ‘A is the wife of B’. If S % D # F @ G & H @ J, then how is F related to J?
Daughter’s daughter
Understanding the Blood Relation Code
This question uses a code to represent blood relationships. We are given a set of symbols and their corresponding meanings:
| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| # | is the brother of |
| @ | is the daughter of |
| & | is the husband of |
| % | is the wife of |
We need to decode the given expression S % D # F @ G & H @ J and then determine the relationship between F and J.
Decoding the Expression Step-by-Step
Let's break down the expression part by part to understand the relationships:
S % Dmeans S is the wife of D. This implies D is the husband of S. S is female, and D is male.D # Fmeans D is the brother of F. This means D and F are siblings. Since D is male, D is F's brother. The gender of F is not yet determined by this part.F @ Gmeans F is the daughter of G. This confirms that F is female. G is the parent of F.G & Hmeans G is the husband of H. This implies H is the wife of G. G is male, and H is female. G and H are a couple.H @ Jmeans H is the daughter of J. This means J is the parent of H. H is female.
Building the Family Connections
Now let's combine these relationships:
- S is married to D (S is wife, D is husband).
- D is the brother of F. D and F are children of the same parent(s).
- F is the daughter of G. This means G is the parent of F. Since D is F's brother, D is also a child of G. So, G is the father of both D and F (or could be mother, let's see the next link).
- G is the husband of H. Since G is the husband, G is male. Therefore, G is the father of F (and D). H is the wife of G, making H the mother of F (and D).
- H is the daughter of J. So, H is a child of J.
From steps 4 and 5, we know that H is the mother of F and H is the daughter of J. This means J is the parent of H, and H is the parent of F.
Determining the Relationship Between F and J
We have established the following line of relationships:
- J is a parent of H.
- H is the mother of F.
If J is the parent of H, and H is the parent of F, then J is the grandparent of F. Since F is female (F is the daughter of G), F is the granddaughter of J.
Specifically, H is J's daughter, and F is H's daughter. Therefore, F is the daughter's daughter of J.
Analyzing the Options
Let's look at the given options to see which one matches our finding:
- Option 1: Daughter - This is incorrect. F is J's granddaughter, not daughter.
- Option 2: Daughter’s daughter - This means the daughter of J's daughter. J's daughter is H, and H's daughter is F. This matches our determined relationship.
- Option 3: Sister’s daughter - This would mean J has a sister, and F is that sister's daughter. This is not supported by the decoding.
- Option 4: Son’s wife - This would mean J has a son, and F is married to that son. This is also not supported by the decoding.
Conclusion
Based on the step-by-step decoding of the expression S % D # F @ G & H @ J, we found that F is the daughter of H, and H is the daughter of J. Therefore, F is the daughter's daughter of J.

Additional Information: Blood Relation Puzzles
Blood relation questions test your ability to understand and interpret coded relationships or statements about family members. They often involve tracing connections through multiple generations and different branches of a family.
Tips for solving blood relation puzzles:
- Draw a family tree diagram. Use symbols for gender (e.g., circle for female, square for male) and lines to show relationships (e.g., vertical line for parent-child, horizontal line for siblings, double horizontal line for marriage).
- Break down complex statements or codes into smaller, manageable parts.
- Work backward or forward through the relationships given in the expression.
- Be careful with gender. Not every person's gender is explicitly stated; sometimes it must be inferred from the relationship (like 'husband' or 'wife').
- Practice with different types of blood relation problems, including those with codes and those with descriptive sentences.
