The correct answer is
Brother

Understanding the Coding Rules

First, let's understand the meaning of each symbol based on the provided coding language:

  • 'A + B' means 'A is the husband of B'.
  • 'A - B' means 'A is the brother of B'.
  • 'A × B' means 'A is the father of B'.
  • 'A ÷ B' means 'A is the son of B'.

Analyzing the Expression: 'E ÷ F × D - C'

Now, let's break down the given expression step-by-step to determine the relationships:

  1. Step 1: Analyze 'E ÷ F'

    According to the rules, 'E ÷ F' means 'E is the son of F'. This tells us that F is a parent of E, and E is male.

  2. Step 2: Analyze 'F × D'

    Using the rules, 'F × D' means 'F is the father of D'. This establishes F as the father of D, making D a child of F.

  3. Step 3: Analyze 'D - C'

    From the rules, 'D - C' means 'D is the brother of C'. This indicates that D and C are siblings. Since D is male, he is the brother.

Determining the Relationship Between E and C

Let's combine the information derived from the steps:

  • From Step 1 and Step 2, we know that F is the father of both E (since E is his son) and D (since F is his father). This means E and D are siblings.
  • From Step 3, we know that D and C are siblings.
  • Since E and D are siblings, and D and C are siblings, it follows that E, D, and C are all siblings.
  • We know from Step 1 that E is male ('son of F').
  • Therefore, E is the brother of C.

The relationship of E to C is that of a brother.
