Question

In a certain code language,
A + B means ‘A is the daughter of B’
A – B means ‘A is the brother of B’
A x B means ‘A is the wife of B’
A ÷ B means ‘A is the father of B’

Based on the above, how is D related to J if ‘D – F + G ÷ H x J’?

The correct answer is
Wife's brother

Decoding the Relationship Puzzle

We need to determine the relationship between D and J based on the given coding language and the expression 'D – F + G ÷ H x J'. Let's decode each part:

  • D – F means 'D is the brother of F'.
  • F + G means 'F is the daughter of G'.
  • G ÷ H means 'G is the father of H'.
  • H x J means 'H is the wife of J'.

Step-by-Step Relationship Analysis

Let's combine these coded relationships to build the family structure:

  1. From D – F, we know D is male and is the sibling of F.
  2. From F + G, we know F is female and G is her parent.
  3. From G ÷ H, we know G is male and is the father of H. Since G is the parent of F (from step 2) and the father of H, this confirms that F and H are siblings.
  4. From H x J, we know H is female and is the wife of J.
  5. Since D is the brother of F (step 1), and F and H are siblings (step 3), D must also be the brother of H.
  6. We know H is the wife of J (step 4).
  7. Therefore, D is the brother of J's wife.

Conclusion on D's Relation to J

Based on the analysis, D is the brother of H, and H is the wife of J. Thus, D is the wife's brother.
