Decoding Blood Relations: Finding H's Connection to E

This problem requires us to first understand a coded language where symbols represent family relationships. Once we decode these symbols, we apply them to a given expression involving multiple individuals to determine the specific relationship between H and E.

Understanding the Relationship Codes

Let's break down the meaning of each symbol provided:

  • R + T indicates that 'R is the sister of T'.
  • R - T indicates that 'R is the father of T'.
  • R * T indicates that 'R is the wife of T'.
  • R ÷ T indicates that 'R is the mother of T'.

Analyzing the Expression: D-E* F-G + H ÷ I + J

We will now analyze the expression 'D-E\* F-G + H ÷ I + J' step by step to construct the family relationships:

  • Step 1: The first part is D - E. According to the code, this means 'D is the father of E'.
  • Step 2: Next is E * F. This translates to 'E is the wife of F'. This crucial piece of information tells us that E is female, and F is her husband.
  • Step 3: Following this is F - G. This means 'F is the father of G'. Since we know E is the wife of F (from Step 2), E must be the mother of G. Therefore, E and F are the parents of G.
  • Step 4: The expression continues with G + H. This means 'G is the sister of H'. Since G and H are siblings, they share the same parents. As E and F are G's parents, they are also H's parents.
  • Step 5: Next, we have H ÷ I. This translates to 'H is the mother of I'. This step confirms that H is female.
  • Step 6: Finally, I + J means 'I is the sister of J'. This indicates that I and J are siblings.

Determining H's Relationship to E

Now, let's synthesize the derived information to find the relationship between H and E:

  • From Step 1, D is the father of E.
  • From Step 2, E is established as female (the wife of F).
  • From Step 3, E is identified as the mother of G.
  • From Step 4, G is the sister of H, meaning H is a sibling to G. Since E and F are G's parents, they are also H's parents. Thus, E is the mother of H.
  • From Step 5, H is confirmed to be female as she is the mother of I.

Given that E is the mother of H, and H is female, we can conclude that H is the daughter of E.
