Which of the following option gives that, M is father of R?

The correct answer is

N * M % R

Understanding Blood Relation Codes

The question provides specific codes to represent relationships between people. Let's break down what each code means:

  • M * N means 'M is the sister of N'.
  • M % N means 'M is the father of N'.
  • M # N means 'M is the mother of N'.

We need to find the option where, based on these codes, M is the father of R.

Analyzing the Options

Let's examine each option to determine the relationship between M and R.

Option 1: N % R * M

  • N % R means N is the father of R.
  • R * M means R is the sister of M.

Combining these, N is the father of R, and R is the sister of M. This means N is the father of both R and M. So, M and R are siblings (sister and brother or two sisters). This option does not show M as the father of R.

Option 2: N * M % S # R

  • N * M means N is the sister of M.
  • M % S means M is the father of S.
  • S # R means S is the mother of R.

Combining these steps: N is the sister of M. M is the father of S. S is the mother of R. If M is the father of S, and S is the mother of R, then M is the father of R's mother. This means M is R's maternal grandfather. This option does not show M as the father of R.

Option 3: N * M % R

  • N * M means N is the sister of M.
  • M % R means M is the father of R.

Combining these: N is the sister of M, and M is the father of R. The second part of this expression, M % R, directly states that M is the father of R. This matches the requirement in the question.

Option 4: R * M # N

  • R * M means R is the sister of M.
  • M # N means M is the mother of N.

Combining these: R is the sister of M, and M is the mother of N. This option describes relationships involving R, M, and N, but it does not establish M as the father of R.

Conclusion

After analyzing each option based on the given blood relation codes, Option 3 is the only one that results in the relationship where M is the father of R.

The expression N * M % R translates to:

  • N is the sister of M.
  • M is the father of R.

Therefore, this option correctly shows that M is the father of R.
