The correct answer is

Brother’s wife

We are given a coded relationship system where:

A + B → A is the mother of B.

A - B → A is the brother of B.

A × B → A is the wife of B.

A ÷ B → A is the father of B.

Now, we need to determine the relationship between 4 and 1 given the expression:
4 × 3 - 2 - 1

Step 1: Break Down the Expression

4 × 3 → 4 is the wife of 3 (i.e., 4 is the wife of person 3).

3 - 2 → 3 is the brother of 2 (i.e., person 3 is the brother of person 2).

2 - 1 → 2 is the brother of 1 (i.e., person 2 is the brother of person 1).

Step 2: Identify the Relationship

Person 4 (a female) is the wife of person 3.

Person 3 is the brother of person 2.

Person 2 is the brother of person 1.

Since 3 and 2 are brothers, 3 is also the brother of 1.
Thus, the wife of 3 (Person 4) is the sister-in-law of 1, which is also known as Brother's wife.

✅ Correct Answer: "Brother's Wife" (Option 2).
