In a certain code language,
'A + B' means 'A is the mother of B',
'A - B' means 'A is the brother of B',
'A × B' means 'A is the wife of B',
'A ÷ B' means 'A is the father of B'.
Based on the above information, how is Q related to S if ‘P + Q ÷ R × S − T'?
Decoding Family Relations in Code Language
This problem involves deciphering a coded language used to represent family relationships. We need to determine the relationship between characters Q and S based on a given expression and a set of rules.
Understanding the Code Language
The problem provides the following definitions for symbols:
| Symbol | Meaning |
+ |
Mother of |
- |
Brother of |
× |
Wife of |
÷ |
Father of |
Breaking Down the Expression: P + Q ÷ R × S - T
We will decode the expression step-by-step to establish the relationships between the individuals involved:
- Step 1: Analyze
P + Q. According to the rules, '$P + Q$' means '$P$ is the mother of $Q$'. - Step 2: Analyze
Q ÷ R. According to the rules, '$Q \div R$' means '$Q$ is the father of $R$'. This implies that Q is male. - Step 3: Analyze
R × S. According to the rules, '$R \times S$' means '$R$ is the wife of $S$'. This implies that R is female, and S is male. - Step 4: Analyze
S - T. According to the rules, '$S - T$' means '$S$ is the brother of $T$'. This confirms S is male.
Determining the Relationship between Q and S
Now, let's combine the derived relationships to find how Q is related to S:
- From Step 2, we know that Q is the father of R.
- From Step 3, we know that R is the wife of S.
Combining these facts:
- If Q is the father of R, and R is the wife of S, then Q must be the father of S's wife.
- The father of one's wife is known as the father-in-law.
- The question asks how Q is related to S, and the options are framed from S's perspective regarding his wife's relatives. Therefore, Q is the father of S's wife.
Connecting to the Options
Let's examine the given options:
- Option 1: Wife's sister (This would be S's sister-in-law)
- Option 2: Wife's mother (This would be S's mother-in-law)
- Option 3: Wife's brother (This would be S's brother-in-law)
- Option 4: Wife's father (This would be S's father-in-law)
Our derived relationship states that Q is the father of S's wife. This directly matches the description in Option 4.
