If C% D means C is the wife of D; C & D means C is the father of D; and If C $ D means C is the daughter of D, then what would X $ Y % W & Z mean if W has only one daughter?
X is the sister of Z
Decoding Blood Relations with Coded Symbols
This question requires us to decode the given symbols representing blood relations and then determine the relationship between two individuals in a complex expression based on these codes.
Understanding the Coded Relationships
We are given the following codes:
- C % D means C is the wife of D.
- C & D means C is the father of D.
- C $ D means C is the daughter of D.
Analyzing the Expression: X $ Y % W & Z
Let's break down the expression step by step according to the given codes:
- X $ Y: According to the code "C $ D means C is the daughter of D", X $ Y means X is the daughter of Y. This tells us that Y is the parent of X, and X is female.
- Y % W: According to the code "C % D means C is the wife of D", Y % W means Y is the wife of W. This tells us that W is the husband of Y, and Y is female while W is male. Since Y is the wife of W, they are a couple.
- W & Z: According to the code "C & D means C is the father of D", W & Z means W is the father of Z. This tells us that Z is the child of W.
Combining the Relationships
Let's put the pieces together:
- From X $ Y, X is the daughter of Y.
- From Y % W, Y is the wife of W. This means Y and W are married.
- Since X is the daughter of Y (and Y is married to W), X is also the daughter of W. So, W and Y are the parents of X.
- From W & Z, W is the father of Z. This means Z is also a child of W.
Since both X and Z are children of the same parent (W), X and Z are siblings. We already know that X is female (from X $ Y). Therefore, X is the sister of Z.
Considering the Constraint: "W has only one daughter"
The problem states that W has only one daughter. We have already established that X is the daughter of W. This means X is that only daughter. Z is a child of W. Since X is the *only* daughter, Z cannot be a daughter if Z is different from X. However, even if Z is the same as X, or Z is a son, the relationship we derived (X is the sister of Z) remains consistent. X is definitely female (daughter of Y/W) and a sibling of Z (both share parent W).
Evaluating the Options
Now let's check the given options based on our conclusion that X is the sister of Z:
| Option | Analysis | Correctness |
|---|---|---|
| X is the son of Z | We determined X is female (daughter). A female cannot be a son. | Incorrect |
| Z is the sister of X | This describes Z's relationship to X. We concluded X is the sister of Z. This statement might be true if Z is female, but it's not the direct relationship of X to Z. The question asks "what would X $ Y % W & Z mean", implying the relationship between X and Z from the perspective of X. | Incorrect (describes relationship from Z's perspective, not X's) |
| Z is the sister of the mother of X | The mother of X is Y. Z is the child of W, Y's husband. Z is a sibling of X, not a sibling of Y. | Incorrect |
| X is the sister of Z | We determined that X is a female sibling of Z. This is consistent with our analysis. | Correct |
Based on the analysis, X is the sister of Z.
Revision Table: Blood Relation Symbols
| Symbol | Meaning | Example (C & D) |
|---|---|---|
| % | Wife | C is the wife of D |
| & | Father | C is the father of D |
| $ | Daughter | C is the daughter of D |
Additional Information: Solving Coded Blood Relations
Solving coded blood relation problems involves breaking down the given expression into smaller relationship segments and then combining these segments to build a family tree or chain of relationships. Key steps include:
- Carefully noting the meaning of each symbol and how it relates the person before the symbol to the person after it.
- Analyzing the given expression segment by segment from left to right, or by focusing on common individuals connecting different parts.
- Determining the gender of individuals whenever possible based on the defined relationships (e.g., 'father' implies male, 'daughter' implies female, 'wife' implies female, 'husband' implies male).
- Using the derived relationships to connect individuals and determine the relationship between the required people.
- Paying attention to any additional constraints or conditions provided in the question, such as "only one daughter" or "no siblings".
- Visualizing the relationships, perhaps by drawing a simple family tree sketch, can be very helpful.
