Understanding the Blood Relation Coded Symbols

This question involves decoding a relationship expression given in coded form. We need to understand what each symbol represents to build the family tree and find the relationship between G and J.

Let's look at the meaning of each symbol provided:

  • A # B means ‘A is the husband of B’
  • A & B means ‘A is the daughter of B’
  • A @ B means ‘A is the grandmother of B’
  • A % B means ‘A is the son of B’

Analyzing the Given Expression: E @ F % G # H & I @ J

Now, let's break down the given expression step-by-step:

  • E @ F: E is the grandmother of F. This means E is a female and is a parent of F's parent.
  • F % G: F is the son of G. This means F is a male and G is a parent of F.
  • G # H: G is the husband of H. This means G is a male and H is a female, and they are married.
  • H & I: H is the daughter of I. This means H is a female and I is a parent of H.
  • I @ J: I is the grandmother of J. This means I is a female and is a parent of J's parent.

Building the Family Tree Based on Relations

Let's combine these relationships to see how the individuals are connected:

  1. From G # H, we know G and H are married, with G being the husband and H the wife.
  2. From F % G, F is the son of G. Since G is married to H, F is also the son of H. So, F is the child of G and H.
  3. From H & I, H is the daughter of I. This means I is the parent of H.
  4. From I @ J, I is the grandmother of J. Since H is I's daughter, I is the mother of H (as I is female from I @ J and H is her daughter).
  5. I is the grandmother of J. This means J is the child of I's child. I's only child we know from the relations is H. Therefore, J must be the child of H.

So far, we have:

  • G and H are a couple (G is husband, H is wife).
  • F is their son.
  • H is the daughter of I.
  • I is the mother of H and grandmother of J.
  • J is the child of H.

Incorporating the Condition: I has only one child

The question states that I has only one child. We deduced that H is a daughter of I. Since H is the only child of I, H is I's only offspring.

We also know I is the grandmother of J. A grandmother is a parent of one's parent. Since H is I's only child, J must be the child of H. This confirms our previous deduction.

Determining the Relationship between G and J

We have established that:

  • G is the husband of H.
  • J is the child of H.

Since G is the husband of H, and J is the child of H, J is also the child of G. Therefore, G is the father of J.

Final Conclusion

Based on the decoding of the symbols, the given expression, and the condition that I has only one child, we have determined that G is the father of J.

Relation Inference
G # H G is husband of H (G: Male, H: Female)
F % G F is son of G (F: Male, G: Parent of F)
H & I H is daughter of I (H: Female, I: Parent of H)
I @ J I is grandmother of J (I: Female, Parent of J's parent)
Combining F%G & G#H F is son of G and H
Combining H&I & I@J H is I's daughter; I is grandmother of J. Implies J is child of I's child.
Condition: I has only one child + H & I H is the only child of I.
Combining I@J & I's only child is H J must be the child of H.
Combining G#H & J is child of H G is husband of H, J is child of H. Therefore, J is child of G.
Final Relation G is the father of J.

Additional Information: Solving Blood Relation Puzzles

Blood relation puzzles test your ability to understand and deduce relationships between individuals based on given information. When solving coded blood relation questions:

  • Always decode the symbols first and write down what each one means clearly.
  • Break down the complex expression into smaller, manageable relationship pairs.
  • Try to build a simple family tree or diagram as you go, showing the connections between individuals.
  • Pay close attention to gender indications. Symbols like 'husband', 'daughter', 'son', 'grandmother' clearly define gender.
  • Note down any extra conditions given, like "only child", "no son", etc., as these are crucial for narrowing down possibilities.
  • Combine the smaller relations to find the overall relationship between the people asked in the question.
