Question

In a certain code language,
'A + B' means 'A is the daughter of B',
'A - B' means 'A is the father of B',
'A \(\times\)  B' means 'A is the son of B' and
'A \(\div\) B' means 'A is the sister of B'.

Based on the above, how is Q related to P if 'Q \(\times\) M + V - J \(\div\) P'?

The correct answer is
Sister's son

Let's break down the coding language and the given expression to determine the relationship between Q and P.

Understanding the Code Language

  • \(A + B\) means A is the daughter of B.
  • \(A - B\) means A is the father of B.
  • \(A × B\) means A is the son of B.
  • \(A ÷ B\) means A is the sister of B.

Decoding the Expression: \(Q × M + V - J ÷ P\)

We analyze the expression segment by segment:

  • \(Q × M\): Q is the son of M. (This establishes Q is male).
  • \(M + V\): M is the daughter of V. (This establishes M is female).
  • \(V - J\): V is the father of J. (This establishes V is male).
  • \(J ÷ P\): J is the sister of P. (This establishes J is female).

Determining Family Structure

Combining the decoded segments:

  • From \(V - J\), V is J's father.
  • From \(J ÷ P\), J is P's sister. Therefore, V is also P's father.
  • From \(M + V\), M is the daughter of V.
  • Since M, J, and P all share V as their father, M, J, and P are siblings.
  • From \(Q × M\), Q is the son of M. This means M is Q's mother.

Establishing Q's Relation to P

We know:

  • M is Q's mother.
  • P is M's sibling.
  • Therefore, P is Q's aunt or uncle.

The question asks "how is Q related to P?". The options suggest the relationship is described from P's perspective or identifies Q's identity within P's family. The correct answer indicates Q is a "Sister's son". This means Q's mother (M) is the sister of P.

If M is P's sister, then P is Q's aunt. The description "Sister's son" accurately identifies Q in relation to P's sister.
