Decoding the Family Relation Code

This problem involves deciphering a coded language where symbols represent specific family relationships. Our goal is to use these definitions to figure out how W is related to P, based on the given expression: W × V # T - R + S × P.

Symbols and Their Meanings

Symbol Meaning
A + B A is the mother of B
A - B A is the brother of B
A $\times$ B A is the wife of B
A # B A is the father of B

Expression Breakdown for Relation Logic

To find the relationship between W and P, we need to decode the expression W × V # T - R + S × P. It's best to work from right to left to establish the connections:

  1. S $\times$ P: According to the code, 'A $\times$ B' means 'A is the wife of B'. So, S is the wife of P. This implies P is the husband of S.
  2. R + S: The symbol '+' means 'mother of'. So, R is the mother of S. Since S is P's wife, R is P's mother-in-law.
  3. T - R: The symbol '-' means 'brother of'. Therefore, T is the brother of R. This makes T the brother of P's mother-in-law.
  4. V # T: The symbol '#' means 'father of'. So, V is the father of T. Since T is the brother of R, V is the father of both T and R. This means V is the father of P's mother-in-law (R). Consequently, V is the maternal grandfather of P's wife, S.
  5. W $\times$ V: Using the 'wife of' rule ('$\times$'), W is the wife of V. Since V is the maternal grandfather of P's wife (S), W, being V's wife, is the maternal grandmother of P's wife (S).

W's Relationship to P Explained

Let's summarize the connections we've established:

  • P is married to S.
  • S's mother is R.
  • R's father is V.
  • V's wife is W.

Now, let's determine W's relationship to P by following the chain:

  • P's wife is S.
  • S's mother is R.
  • R's father is V.
  • V's wife is W.

This means W is the wife of the father of P's wife's mother. In simpler terms, W is the maternal grandmother of P's wife.

Considering the given options, the relationship described as "Wife's mother's mother" perfectly matches the maternal grandmother.

  • P's wife
  • P's wife's mother (this is R)
  • P's wife's mother's mother (the mother of R, which is V's wife, W)

Therefore, W is related to P as his wife's mother's mother.
