Question

In a certain code language:

  • ‘A + B’ means ‘A is the mother of B’,
  • ‘A – B’ means ‘A is the father of B’,
  • ‘A $ B’ means ‘A is the son of B’,
  • ‘A % B’ means ‘A is the sister of B’,
  • ‘A / B’ means ‘A is the wife of B’, and
  • ‘A * B’ means ‘A is the husband of B’.

Question: Which of the following means P is the son's wife of T?

Options:

  1. T / B – K * P + O
  2. T + K * P + B % O
  3. K * P + B % T + P
  4. P + T * K + B % O

The correct answer is

Both i and ii

To solve the problem, we need to decipher the given code language and identify the correct option that implies "P is the son's wife of T". Let's analyze the code and options one by one:

  1. Code: T / B – K * P + O
    • T / B means T is the wife of B.
    • B – K means B is the father of K.
    • K * P means K is the husband of P, indicating that P is the wife of K.
    • P + O is irrelevant for determining the relationship between P and T.

    Here, P is the wife of K (T's son), which matches the relation where P is the son's wife of T.

  2. Code: T + K * P + B % O
    • T + K means T is the mother of K.
    • K * P means K is the husband of P, indicating again that P is the wife of K.
    • Other parts such as B % O are not relevant for the direct determination.

    In this sequence, P is still the wife of K (T’s son), fulfilling that P is the son's wife of T.

  3. Code: K * P + B % T + P
    • Though K * P indicates that P is K's wife, the other elements disrupt the direct connection: B % T meaning B is the sister of T.

    This sequence does not clearly demonstrate the exact relationship we require.

  4. Code: P + T * K + B % O
    • P + T means P is the mother of T, which directly conflicts with the required relationship.

    Thus, this option does not match the desired relationship.

By examining the codes, both option i and option ii correctly imply that "P is the son's wife of T". Thus, the correct answer is Both i and ii.
