Mother's sister

Understanding the Relationship Codes

First, let's understand the meaning of each symbol given in the code language:

  • \text{X + Y} means X is the mother of Y.
  • \text{X * Y} means X is the father of Y.
  • \text{X - Y} means X is the daughter of Y.
  • \text{X % Y} means X is the wife of Y.

Analyzing the Expression: A - B * C + D

We need to determine the relationship between A and D based on the expression A - B * C + D. Let's break it down step by step:

Step 1: Decode C + D

According to the code, C + D means 'C is the mother of D'.

Relationship: C is the mother of D.

Step 2: Decode B * C

According to the code, B * C means 'B is the father of C'.

Relationship: B is the father of C.

Step 3: Combine B * C + D

From Step 1, C is the mother of D.

From Step 2, B is the father of C.

Combining these, B is the father of C, and C is the mother of D. This means B is the maternal grandfather of D.

Step 4: Decode A - B

According to the code, A - B means 'A is the daughter of B'.

Relationship: A is the daughter of B. This also tells us A is female.

Step 5: Determine the Final Relationship between A and D

From Step 4, we know A is the daughter of B.

From Step 2, we know B is the father of C.

Since A and C share the same father (B) and A is female, A must be the sister of C.

From Step 1, we know C is the mother of D.

Therefore, A is the sister of C, and C is the mother of D. This makes A the sister of D's mother.

Conclusion: A is the Mother's sister of D (maternal aunt).
