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

Understanding the Coding Rules

The question provides specific codes for family relationships:

  • 'A + B' means 'A is the father of B'. (Implies A is male)
  • 'A - B' means 'A is the brother of B'. (Implies A is male)
  • 'A × B' means 'A is the mother of B'. (Implies A is female)
  • 'A ÷ B' means 'A is the sister of B'. (Implies A is female)

Decoding the Expression: 'L + K ÷ D × P - R'

Let's break down the given expression step by step to establish the relationships:

  1. L + K: According to the rules, '+' means 'father'. So, 'L + K' means 'L is the father of K'. This tells us L is male.
  2. K ÷ D: According to the rules, '÷' means 'sister'. So, 'K ÷ D' means 'K is the sister of D'. This tells us K is female.
  3. D × P: According to the rules, '×' means 'mother'. So, 'D × P' means 'D is the mother of P'. This tells us D is female.
  4. P - R: According to the rules, '-' means 'brother'. So, 'P - R' means 'P is the brother of R'. This tells us P is male.

Determining K's Relationship to R

Now let's combine these facts to find the relationship between K and R:

  • We know from step 2 that K is the sister of D.
  • We know from step 3 that D is the mother of P. Since P and R are siblings (from step 4, P is the brother of R), D is also the mother of R.
  • Since K is the sister of D, and D is the mother of R, K is the sister of R's mother.

Therefore, K is the mother's sister of R.

Final Relationship Summary

The complete chain of relationships derived from 'L + K ÷ D × P - R' is:

  • L is the father of K.
  • K is the sister of D.
  • D is the mother of P and R.
  • P is the brother of R.

Based on this, K is the maternal aunt (mother's sister) of R.
