The correct answer is

P+Q × R÷S

Blood Relation Reasoning Solution

The question asks us to identify the expression that signifies 'S is the wife of P' based on a given set of relationship codes.

Understanding the Relationship Codes

The provided codes are:

  • 'A + B' means 'A is the father of B'
  • 'A - B' means 'A is the wife of B'
  • 'A × B' means 'A is the brother of B'
  • 'A ÷ B' means 'A is the daughter of B'

Analyzing the Expressions

We need to decode the expression 'P+Q × R÷S' to determine the relationship between P and S.

Step-by-Step Decoding of Option B: P + Q × R ÷ S

  1. P + Q: According to the code, 'A + B' means 'A is the father of B'. So, 'P + Q' means 'P is the father of Q'. (P is male)
  2. Q × R: According to the code, 'A × B' means 'A is the brother of B'. So, 'Q × R' means 'Q is the brother of R'. (Q is male)
  3. R ÷ S: According to the code, 'A ÷ B' means 'A is the daughter of B'. So, 'R ÷ S' means 'R is the daughter of S'. (R is female)

Combining these relationships:

  • P is the father of Q.
  • Q is the brother of R. This implies P is also the father of R.
  • R is the daughter of S. Since P is the father of R, S must be the other parent, meaning S is the mother of R.
  • If S is the mother of R, and P is the father of R, then S is the wife of P.

Therefore, the expression 'P+Q × R÷S' correctly represents 'S is the wife of P'.
