Solving Blood Relation Coding Problems
This question involves understanding relationships represented by codes. We need to decode the given expression step-by-step to find the relationship between two individuals.
Understanding the Codes
Let's first look at what each symbol means:
- ‘A # B’ means ‘A is the brother of B’ (A is Male).
- ‘A @ B’ means ‘A is the daughter of B’ (A is Female).
- ‘A & B’ means ‘A is the husband of B’ (A is Male, B is Female).
- ‘A % B’ means ‘A is the wife of B’ (A is Female, B is Male).
Analyzing the Expression: D @ N @ H & Y @ F % V
We will break down the expression D @ N @ H & Y @ F % V from left to right to determine the relationships.
- D @ N: D is the daughter of N.
This tells us that D is female. N is D's parent. - N @ H: N is the daughter of H.
This tells us that N is female. H is N's parent.
Combining with the previous step: D is the daughter of N, and N is the daughter of H. So, N is D's mother, and H is N's parent (which means H is D's grandparent). Both D and N are female. - H & Y: H is the husband of Y.
This tells us that H is male and Y is female. H and Y are married.
Combining with step 2: H is N's parent. Since H is male, H is N's father. Y is H's wife, so Y is N's mother.
Now we know: D is the daughter of N, and N is the daughter of H and Y. H is N's father, and Y is N's mother.
This makes N the mother of D, H the father of N, and Y the mother of N.
From D's perspective: N is D's mother. Y is N's mother. Therefore, Y is the mother of D's mother. - Y @ F: Y is the daughter of F.
This tells us that Y is female (which we already knew) and F is Y's parent. - F % V: F is the wife of V.
This tells us that F is female and V is male. F and V are married.
Combining with step 4: Y is the daughter of F. Since F is female and married to V, F is Y's mother and V is Y's father.
This part of the expression (Y @ F % V) defines Y's parents. It doesn't directly affect the relationship between Y and D that we've already established, but it provides more information about the family tree.
Determining the Relationship between Y and D
From our analysis, we found the following chain of relationships:
- D is the daughter of N. (N is D's mother)
- N is the daughter of H and Y. (Y is N's mother)
Since Y is the mother of N, and N is the mother of D, Y is the mother of D's mother.
Comparing with Options
Let's look at the given options for how Y is related to D:
| Option | Relationship | Matches Our Finding? |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mother’s mother | Yes |
| 2 | Sister’s daughter | No |
| 3 | Mother | No (N is D's mother) |
| 4 | Daughter’s daughter | No |
Our conclusion that Y is the mother of D's mother matches Option 1.
Revision Table: Blood Relation Symbols
| Symbol | Meaning | A's Gender | B's Gender |
|---|---|---|---|
| # | A is brother of B | Male | Can be Male or Female |
| @ | A is daughter of B | Female | Can be Male or Female |
| & | A is husband of B | Male | Female |
| % | A is wife of B | Female | Male |
Additional Information: Solving Blood Relation Puzzles
Solving blood relation puzzles involves carefully decoding the relationships given in symbolic or verbal form. A helpful strategy is to build a family tree or diagram as you decode each part of the expression. Assigning genders where specified is crucial. Start from one end of the expression and link individuals step-by-step until you connect the two people whose relationship is asked.
Key steps:
- Read the meaning of each code carefully.
- Break the coded expression into smaller parts.
- For each part, identify the relationship and the gender of the person mentioned first if specified by the code.
- Connect these relationships to build a family tree or chain.
- Trace the path between the two required individuals to find their relationship.
