Solving Blood Relation Puzzles: Understanding Relationships

This question requires us to decode a series of symbols representing blood relations and determine the relationship between two individuals, F and J, based on the given expression: S % D # F @ G & H @ J.

Let's first understand the meaning of each symbol provided:

  • ‘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’.

Now, let's break down the expression S % D # F @ G & H @ J step by step to deduce the relationships:

  1. S % D: This means S is the wife of D.
  2. D # F: This means D is the brother of F. Since D is the brother of F, and S is D's wife, S is the sister-in-law of F. D and F are siblings.
  3. F @ G: This means F is the daughter of G. Since F is the daughter of G, and D is F's brother, D is also the son of G. G is the parent of both D and F.
  4. G & H: This means G is the husband of H. Since G is the husband of H and G is the parent of F, H is the other parent of F, i.e., H is the mother of F. G is the father of F.
  5. H @ J: This means H is the daughter of J. Since H is the daughter of J and H is the mother of F, J is the maternal grandparent of F.

Let's summarize the relationships derived:

Expression Part Relationship Implied Individuals Involved
S % D S is wife of D S, D
D # F D is brother of F D, F
F @ G F is daughter of G F, G
G & H G is husband of H G, H
H @ J H is daughter of J H, J

We need to find the relationship between F and J. From our step-by-step analysis, we know:

  • H is the daughter of J (from H @ J).
  • F is the daughter of H (from F @ G and G & H, where G and H are parents of F).

So, F is the daughter of H, and H is the daughter of J. This means F is the daughter of J's daughter.

Therefore, F is J's daughter's daughter.

Comparing with Options to Find the Relation

Let's examine the given options based on our derived relationship:

  • Option 1: Sister’s daughter - This is incorrect. F is related to J through H, who is J's daughter, not sibling.
  • Option 2: Daughter’s daughter - This matches our finding that F is the daughter of J's daughter (H).
  • Option 3: Son’s wife - This is incorrect.
  • Option 4: Daughter - This is incorrect. F is J's granddaughter, not daughter.

Based on the analysis, F is the daughter's daughter of J.

Additional Information: Solving Blood Relation Puzzles

Blood relation puzzles often involve understanding family structures and relationships. Representing the relations visually, like drawing a family tree, can be very helpful. Symbols often represent gender and the type of relationship (parent-child, sibling, spouse). Always break down complex expressions into smaller, manageable steps and deduce relationships one by one. Keep track of the gender of individuals where indicated by the relationship definitions.
