Understanding the Coding Rules

This problem tests your ability to decode family relationships based on a given set of symbolic rules. It's important to carefully apply each rule as defined.

  • 'A + B' means A is the mother of B.
  • 'A x B' means A is the father of B.
  • 'A - B' means A is the sister of B.

Decoding the Expression 'P x Q - R'

Let's break down the expression 'P x Q - R' step-by-step:

Step 1: Interpret 'P x Q'

The rule states that 'A x B' means A is the father of B. Applying this rule to 'P x Q', we determine that P is the father of Q.

Step 2: Interpret 'Q - R'

The rule states that 'A - B' means A is the sister of B. Applying this rule to 'Q - R', we determine that Q is the sister of R.

Step 3: Combine the Interpretations

Now, we combine the findings from the two parts of the expression:

  • From 'P x Q', we know: P is the father of Q.
  • From 'Q - R', we know: Q is the sister of R.

Putting it all together, the expression 'P x Q - R' means that P is the father of Q, and Q is the sister of R.

Relationship Conclusion

Based on the logical decoding of the symbols and the expression 'P x Q - R', the resulting family relationship is that P is the father of Q, and Q is the sister of R.
