In a certain code language,
‘A + B’ means ‘A is the son of B’,
‘A - B’ means ‘A is the brother of B’,
‘A × B’ means ‘A is the wife of B’ and
‘A ÷ B’ means ‘A is the father of B’.
How is P related to T if ‘P + Q + R - S × T’?
Grandnephew
Answer: P is the grandnephew (also called great-nephew) of T.
Explanation :
P + Q + R means: P is son of Q, and Q is son of R → P is grandson of R.
R - S means: R is brother of S.
S × T means: S is wife of T → S is T’s wife.
So R is the brother of T’s wife → R is T’s brother-in-law.
P is R’s grandson → P is the grandson of T’s brother-in-law, i.e. P is T’s grandnephew / great-nephew.
