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 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 |
$A \div B \implies A \text{ is the father of } B$ |
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:
P is the father of Q.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.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.S is the wife of T. Consequently, T is the husband of S.Let's synthesize the information derived from the expression to establish the family connection:
S x T, we know that S is the wife of T.Q + R and R - S), we established that Q is the mother of S.P ÷ Q, we know that P is the father of Q.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.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:
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.P in relation to T.Therefore, P is related to T as the 'Wife's mother's father'.
‘R+S’ means ‘R is the daughter of S’. ‘R−S’ means ‘R is the husband of S’.‘R × S’ means ‘R is the brother of S’. If ‘T × V + Z’, then which of the following options is true?
'P × Q' means 'P is the wife of Q'. 'P + Q' means 'P is the father of Q'. 'P ÷ Q' means 'P is the daughter of Q'. 'P - Q' means 'P is the son of Q'. How is E related to I in the expression 'E ÷ F + G - H ÷ I' ?
'K % L' means 'K is the brother of L', 'K $ L' means 'K is the husband of L', 'K @ L' means 'K is the sister of L', 'K # L' means 'K is the mother of L'.
How is H related to M in the expression ‘X @ P % T # M $ Y # J @ H’?
If ‘A % B’ means ‘A is the father of B’, ‘A # B’ means ‘A is the brother of B’, and ‘A $ B’ means ‘A is the wife of B’, then how is K related to R in the given expression?
K $ H % Y # M # R
If 'A + B' means 'A is the daughter of B ', 'A × B' means 'A is the sister of B', and 'A = B' means 'A is the wife of B', then how is G related to R in the expression 'C × G × U + M = R'?
