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'.
If A @ B means A is the son of B, A # B means A is the husband of B and A * B means A is the daughter of B, then what does P @ Q * R # S mean?
If P $ Q means P is the husband of Q; P ! Q means P is the mother Q and P * Q means P is the daughter of Q, which of the following shows that Z is brother of W's wife, if Z is male?
If P $ Q means P is the brother of Q; P ! Q means P is the mother Q and P * Q means P is the son of Q, which of the following shows that W is brother of Z?
Read the following information carefully and answer the question given below:
M * N means ‘ M is the sister of N’
M % N means ‘ M is the father of N’
M # N means ‘M is the mother of N’
Which of the following option gives that, M is father of R?
If ‘A + B’ means ‘A is the mother of B’, ‘A - B’ means ‘A is the father of B’, ‘A × B’ means ‘A is the brother of B’, ‘A & B’ means ‘A is the son of B’, then how is M related to K in the expression ‘N − M + T × L & G & K’?
