Blood Relation Codes Explained

This question tests your ability to decode relationships based on symbolic representations. Each symbol has a specific meaning defining a family connection. Let's understand each one:

  • A + B means 'B is the father of A'. This indicates that the person on the right side of the '+' symbol (B) is the father of the person on the left side (A).
  • A - B means 'B is the mother of A'. Similarly, the person on the right side of the '-' symbol (B) is the mother of the person on the left side (A).
  • A # B means 'B is the sister of A'. This signifies that the person on the right side of the '#' symbol (B) is the sister of the person on the left side (A).
  • A & B means 'B is the wife of A'. This shows that the person on the right side of the '&' symbol (B) is the wife of the person on the left side (A).

Decoding the Expression: A # B + C & D - E

Now, we will systematically decode the given expression A # B + C & D - E using the relationship codes provided. This process helps build a clear family tree.

  1. A # B: Based on the rule 'A # B' means 'B is the sister of A'. So, A and B are siblings, and B is female.
  2. B + C: The rule 'A + B' means 'B is the father of A'. Applying this to 'B + C', we get 'C is the father of B'. Since A and B are siblings, C is also the father of A.
  3. C & D: The rule 'A & B' means 'B is the wife of A'. Applying this to 'C & D', we get 'D is the wife of C'. As C is the father of A, his wife D must be the mother of A.
  4. D - E: The rule 'A - B' means 'B is the mother of A'. Applying this to 'D - E', we get 'E is the mother of D'.

Final Relationship Determination

Let's combine the deduced relationships to find out how E is related to A:

  • From the previous steps, we determined that D is the mother of A.
  • We also found that E is the mother of D.

Therefore, E is the mother of A's mother. This relationship defines E as A's maternal grandmother.

The question asks for the relationship of E to A. Based on our step-by-step analysis, E is the mother of A's mother.
