Question

In a certain code language,
'A + B' means 'A is the mother of B'
'A - B' means 'A is the brother of B'
'A x B' means 'A is the wife of B'
'A ÷ B' means 'A is the father of B'

Based on the above, how is P related to T if 'P ÷ Q + R - S x T'?

The correct answer is
Wife's mother's father

Definitions Analysis

The problem defines a code language for family relationships. Understanding these definitions is key to solving the puzzle:

Symbol Meaning LaTeX Representation
A + B A is the mother of B $A + B \implies A \text{ is the mother of } B$
A - B A is the brother of B $A - B \implies A \text{ is the brother of } B$
A x B A is the wife of B $A \times B \implies A \text{ is the wife of } B$
A ÷ B A is the father of B $A \div B \implies A \text{ is the father of } B$

Expression Breakdown

We need to decode the expression P ÷ Q + R - S x T to find the relationship between P and T. Let's break it down step-by-step:

  • Step 1: P ÷ Q
    This means P is the father of Q.
  • Step 2: Q + R
    This means Q is the mother of R. Combining with Step 1, P is the father of Q, and Q is the mother of R. Therefore, P is the maternal grandfather of R.
  • Step 3: R - S
    This means R is the brother of S. Since Q is the mother of R, she must also be the mother of R's sister, S. As P is the father of Q, P remains the maternal grandfather of S.
  • Step 4: S x T
    This means S is the wife of T. Consequently, T is the husband of S.

Family Connection Establishment

Let's synthesize the information derived from the expression to establish the family connection:

  • From S x T, we know that S is the wife of T.
  • From the previous steps (Q + R and R - S), we established that Q is the mother of S.
  • From P ÷ Q, we know that P is the father of Q.
  • Putting it all together: P is the father of Q, and Q is the mother of S. Since S is the wife of T, P is the father of T's wife's mother.

Relation Determination

The question asks for the relationship of P to T. Our analysis shows that P is the father of T's wife's mother. This means P is the maternal grandfather of T's wife.

Now, let's check the given options:

  • Option 1: Wife's mother's father.
    • T's wife is S.
    • T's wife's mother is Q.
    • T's wife's mother's father is P.
    This description accurately identifies P in relation to T.

Therefore, P is related to T as the 'Wife's mother's father'.
