Understanding Blood Relation Symbols

This question requires us to decode a series of symbols that represent specific blood relationships. Let's break down what each symbol means:

• B % D means B is the brother of D (B is Male).
• B & D means B is the mother of D (B is Female).
• B × D means B is the husband of D (B is Male, D is Female).
• B # D means B is the sister of D (B is Female).
• B $ D means B is the son of D (B is Male).
• B @ D means B is the father of D (B is Male).

We need to find the relationship of P to U based on the expression: P $ Q × R # S % T $ U.

Decoding the Given Expression Segment by Segment

Let's analyze the expression from left to right, determining the relationship between consecutive individuals:

1. P $ Q: According to the definition, B $ D means B is the son of D. So, P $ Q means P is the son of Q. This tells us P is Male. Q is one of P's parents.
2. Q × R: According to the definition, B × D means B is the husband of D. So, Q × R means Q is the husband of R. This tells us Q is Male and R is Female. Since Q is the husband of R, and Q is a parent of P (from step 1), Q is the father of P and R is the mother of P.
3. R # S: According to the definition, B # D means B is the sister of D. So, R # S means R is the sister of S. This confirms R is Female. S is R's sibling.
4. S % T: According to the definition, B % D means B is the brother of D. So, S % T means S is the brother of T. This tells us S is Male. T is S's sibling.
5. T $ U: According to the definition, B $ D means B is the son of D. So, T $ U means T is the son of U. This tells us T is Male. U is one of T's parents.

Tracing the Relationship from P to U

Now let's put these relationships together to find how P is related to U:

• From step 1 and 2: P is the son of Q and R. Q is the father, R is the mother.
• From step 3: R is the sister of S.
• From step 4: S is the brother of T.
• From step 5: T is the son of U.

Let's build the connections:

T is the son of U. S is the brother of T. So, S is also a child of U. R is the sister of S. So, R is also a child of U.

We know R is the mother of P. Since R is the mother of P, and R is the child of U, this means P is the child of U's child.

Specifically:

• U is a parent of T.
• T, S, and R are siblings (T is son of U, S is brother of T, R is sister of S). Therefore, R is also a child of U.
• R is the mother of P.

If R is the mother of P and R is the child of U, then P is the grandchild of U.

Since we determined that P is Male (from P $ Q), P is the grandson of U.

Summary of Relationships

Tracing the chain: P is son of R. R is sister of S. S is brother of T. T is son of U.

This means R, S, and T are siblings and children of U.

P is the son of R, and R is the child of U. Therefore, P is the grandchild of U.

Since P is male, P is the grandson of U.

Additional Information: Solving Blood Relation Problems

Solving blood relation questions with symbols involves a systematic approach. Here are some tips:

• Carefully note down what each symbol represents and the gender implications if any.
• Break down the given expression into smaller segments.
• Determine the relationship between the two individuals in each segment. Assign genders where possible.
• Combine the relationships step-by-step to build a family tree or chain of relations.
• Trace the path from the first person mentioned to the second person mentioned in the question (e.g., from P to U).
• Pay close attention to the gender of the person whose relation is being asked (in this case, P).
• Practice with different types of symbolic relations to improve speed and accuracy.
