RRB NTPC 2019 CBT 1 Question Paper (8-Mar-2021) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
A is the maternal uncle of C.

Blood Relation Logic: Decoding A × B ÷ C

We need to determine the relationship represented by the expression A × B ÷ C based on the provided codes:

  • L + M means L is the son of M.
  • L - M means L is the husband of M.
  • L × M means L is the brother of M.
  • L ÷ M means L is the mother of M.

Step-by-Step Decoding

Let's break down the expression A × B ÷ C:

  1. First Part: A × B
    • Using the code 'L × M means L is the brother of M', we get: A is the brother of B.
  2. Second Part: B ÷ C
    • Using the code 'L ÷ M means L is the mother of M', we get: B is the mother of C.

Determining the Final Relationship

Now, let's combine the relationships derived:

  • We know A is the brother of B.
  • We also know B is the mother of C.
  • Therefore, A is the brother of C's mother.
  • The brother of one's mother is called the maternal uncle.

Thus, A is the maternal uncle of C.
