In a certain code language,
'A + B' means 'A is the father of B',
'A - B' means 'A is the brother of B',
'A × B' means 'A is the daughter of B',
'A ÷ B' means 'A is the sister of B'
Based on the above, how is J related to T if 'T - M + H ÷ K × J'?

SSC Selection Post 2024 Question Paper (26-Jun-2024) (Shift-4)
The correct answer is
Brother's wife

Coding Rules Explained

The problem introduces a specific coding language where mathematical symbols represent familial connections. We need to understand these definitions clearly:

  • 'A + B' means 'A is the father of B'.
  • 'A - B' means 'A is the brother of B'.
  • 'A × B' means 'A is the daughter of B'.
  • 'A ÷ B' means 'A is the sister of B'.

Expression Decoding Steps

The core task is to decipher the expression T - M + H ÷ K × J to determine the exact relationship of J to T. We'll break this down logically:

  1. Analyzing T - M: Based on the rule 'A - B' means 'A is the brother of B', the segment T - M translates to 'T is the brother of M'. This establishes that T is male.
  2. Analyzing M + H: Using the rule 'A + B' means 'A is the father of B', the segment M + H translates to 'M is the father of H'. This confirms M is male.
    • Combining the first two steps, since T is the brother of M, and M is the father of H, it follows that T is the uncle of H.
  3. Analyzing H ÷ K: The rule 'A ÷ B' means 'A is the sister of B'. Therefore, H ÷ K translates to 'H is the sister of K'. This confirms H is female.
    • As established earlier, M is the father of H. Since H is the sister of K, M must also be the father of K.
    • T, being M's brother, is the uncle to K as well.
  4. Analyzing K × J: The rule 'A × B' means 'A is the daughter of B'. Thus, K × J translates to 'K is the daughter of J'. This confirms K is female.
    • From step 3, we know that M is the father of K.
    • Given that K is the daughter of J, J must be the other parent.
    • Since M is the father, J has to be the mother of K. This means J is female.

J's Relationship to T

Let's summarize the relationships we've uncovered:

  • M is the father of K.
  • J is the mother of K.
  • From these two points, we can deduce that J is the wife of M.
  • T is the brother of M.

Considering that T is the brother of M, and J is the wife of M, J is consequently the wife of T's brother.

This defines J as T's sister-in-law.

Final Relationship Conclusion

After carefully deciphering the coded expression T - M + H ÷ K × J using the provided rules, we arrive at the conclusion that J is the Brother's wife of T.
