Decoding Blood Relations: Understanding the Symbols
This blood relation question uses a set of symbols to represent relationships between individuals. To solve the problem, we first need to understand what each symbol means:
- P + Q means P is the wife of Q. This tells us the first person (P) is female and married to the second person (Q).
- P – Q means P is the daughter of Q. This tells us the first person (P) is female and Q is their parent.
- P × Q means P is the father of Q. This tells us the first person (P) is male and Q is their child.
- P ÷ Q means P is the brother of Q. This tells us the first person (P) is male and is a sibling of the second person (Q).
Analyzing the Blood Relation Expression
The given expression is \(\text{V + M } \div \text{ R – K}\). We need to break this down segment by segment from left to right to determine the relationships:
- \(\text{V + M}\): Based on the first rule, 'P + Q' means 'P is the wife of Q'. So, \(\text{V + M}\) means V is the wife of M. This implies M is the husband of V. V is female, and M is male.
- \(\text{M } \div \text{ R}\): Based on the fourth rule, 'P ÷ Q' means 'P is the brother of Q'. So, \(\text{M } \div \text{ R}\) means M is the brother of R. This implies M is male (which we already knew) and R is M's sibling (sister or brother).
- \(\text{R – K}\): Based on the second rule, 'P – Q' means 'P is the daughter of Q'. So, \(\text{R – K}\) means R is the daughter of K. This implies R is female and K is R's parent.
Connecting the Relationships to Find R's Relation to V
Now let's put the pieces together:
- We know V is the wife of M.
- We know M is the brother of R.
- This means R is the sister or brother of M.
- We also know R is the daughter of K. Since R is the daughter of K, R is female.
- Therefore, R is the sister of M.
So, R is the sister of V's husband (M). This means R is V's husband's sister.
Summary of Relationships
Let's summarize the relationships we found:
| Relation | Inference | Gender |
|---|---|---|
| V + M | V is wife of M | V: Female, M: Male |
| M ÷ R | M is brother of R | M: Male, R: Sibling of M |
| R – K | R is daughter of K | R: Female, K: Parent of R |
From these inferences, we establish that M is V's husband and R is M's sister. Therefore, R is V's husband's sister.
Conclusion: How is R related to V?
Based on our analysis, R is the sister of V's husband M. This relationship is known as husband's sister.

Additional Information: Solving Blood Relation Puzzles
Blood relation questions test your ability to understand and deduce relationships based on given information. Here are some tips for solving them effectively:
- Break down complex expressions into smaller parts.
- Determine the gender of individuals whenever possible based on the relationships given.
- Use diagrams or family trees if the relationships are complicated, although not strictly necessary for simpler linear expressions like this one.
- Work step-by-step from left to right in the expression.
- Clearly identify the relationship between the two people asked about in the question.
