‘P × Q’ means ‘P is the brother of Q’,
‘P – Q’ means ‘P is the wife of Q’,
‘P + Q’ means ‘P is the father of Q’,

This question was previously asked in
SSC Selection Post 2024 Question Paper (26-Jun-2024) (Shift-4)
The correct answer is
Son-in-law

To solve the problem, we need to understand the relationships defined by the symbols:

  • 'P × Q' means 'P is the brother of Q'.
  • 'P - Q' means 'P is the wife of Q'.
  • 'P + Q' means 'P is the father of Q'.
  • 'P ÷ Q' means 'P is the daughter of Q'.

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

  1. D \times B: D is the brother of B.
  2. B - E: B is the wife of E. This implies E is the husband of B.
  3. E + C: E is the father of C.
  4. C - A: C is the wife of A, which means A is the husband of C.

From the above relationships, we deduce:

  • C is the wife of A, making A the husband of C.
  • E is the father of C.

Thus, A, being the husband of E's daughter (C), is the son-in-law of E.

Conclusion: The correct answer is Son-in-law.
