Understanding Blood Relations from Symbols
This question asks us to decode a sequence of symbols representing blood relationships and determine the relationship between two individuals, X and Z. We are given the meanings of four symbols: '+', '-', '×', and '÷'. Let's first list these relationships clearly.
| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| A + B | A is the mother of B |
| A - B | A is the husband of B |
| A × B | A is son of B |
| A ÷ B | A is the daughter of B |
Breaking Down the Expression: W × Z + Y ÷ X
The given expression is W × Z + Y ÷ X. We need to break this compound expression into individual relationships according to the rules provided.
- The first part is W × Z. According to the rules, A × B means 'A is son of B'. So, W × Z means 'W is the son of Z'. This tells us that Z is the parent of W.
- The second part is Z + Y. According to the rules, A + B means 'A is the mother of B'. So, Z + Y means 'Z is the mother of Y'. This tells us that Z is the mother.
- The third part is Y ÷ X. According to the rules, A ÷ B means 'A is the daughter of B'. So, Y ÷ X means 'Y is the daughter of X'. This tells us that X is the parent of Y.
Determining the Relationship between X and Z
Now let's combine the relationships we've deduced:
- From W × Z, we know Z is a parent of W.
- From Z + Y, we know Z is the mother of Y.
- From Y ÷ X, we know Y is the daughter of X.
We have two key pieces of information about Y:
- Z is the mother of Y (from Z + Y).
- Y is the daughter of X (from Y ÷ X).
If Y is the daughter of X, then X is a parent of Y. Since Z is already identified as the mother of Y, X must be the other parent, which means X is the father of Y.
So, Z and X are the parents of Y. Z is the mother, and X is the father. In a typical family structure, the mother and father are married to each other. Therefore, Z and X are husband and wife.
The question asks for the relationship of X to Z. Since Z is the wife of X (because Z is the mother and X is the father of Y), X is the husband of Z.
Conclusion
By breaking down the expression W × Z + Y ÷ X based on the given symbolic relationships, we found that Z is the mother of Y and Y is the daughter of X. This implies that Z and X are the parents of Y, with Z being the mother and X being the father. Thus, X is the husband of Z.

| Expression | Relationship |
|---|---|
| W × Z | W is son of Z |
| Z + Y | Z is mother of Y |
| Y ÷ X | Y is daughter of X |
| Combined | Z is mother of Y, X is father of Y |
| Final Relation | X is husband of Z |
Additional Information on Blood Relation Puzzles
Blood relation puzzles often involve decoding symbolic representations or complex sentence structures to map out family relationships. These questions test your ability to logically deduce relationships based on given information. Key strategies include:
- Breaking down complex expressions or sentences into smaller, manageable relationship statements.
- Using diagrams (like family trees) to visualize the relationships, especially for more complex puzzles.
- Paying close attention to the direction of the relationship (e.g., "A is son of B" is different from "B is son of A").
- Identifying the gender of individuals where possible, as it often helps determine the specific relationship (e.g., mother vs. father, son vs. daughter).
- Being careful about which individual's relationship to the other is being asked (e.g., "How is X related to Z?" is different from "How is Z related to X?").
Practicing different types of blood relation questions with varying symbols and structures can improve your speed and accuracy in solving them for competitive exams.
