The correct answer is
Son's wife

Understanding the Code Language

The question presents a code language where specific mathematical symbols represent family relationships. It's crucial to understand these definitions:

  • '+' signifies 'is the husband of'. This implies the first person is male.
  • '-' signifies 'is the sister of'. This implies the first person is female.
  • 'x' signifies 'is the father of'. This implies the first person is male.
  • '÷' signifies 'is the mother of'. This implies the first person is female.

Decoding the Family Expression

We need to decipher the relationship chain given by the expression 'W + Y - Z ÷ X + P'. Let's break it down segment by segment:

  1. W + Y: According to the code, 'W is the husband of Y'. This tells us W is male and Y is female.
  2. Y - Z: This translates to 'Y is the sister of Z'. Since Y is female, Z must be Y's sibling (brother or sister).
  3. Z ÷ X: This means 'Z is the mother of X'. This establishes Z as female and X as her child.
  4. X + P: This translates to 'X is the husband of P'. This confirms X is male and P is female.

Establishing the P to Z Relationship

To find the relationship between P and Z, let's combine the information derived:

  • From 'Z ÷ X', we know Z is the mother of X.
  • From 'X + P', we know X is the husband of P.
  • Since Z is the mother of X, and X is married to P, P is the wife of Z's child (X).
  • Therefore, P is the wife of Z's son (X). P is Z's son's wife.

This relationship matches the third option provided.
