Blood Relation Symbols Explained

A + B × C Expression Analysis

We are given the expression A + B × C and need to find the relationship between A and C.

Decoding B × C Relation

Let's analyze the second part of the expression, B × C:

  • Based on the definition X × Y, B × C means B is the brother of C.

This establishes that B and C are siblings. We know B is male.

Decoding A + B Relation

Now, let's analyze the first part of the expression, A + B:

  • Based on the definition X + Y, A + B means A is the daughter of B.

This tells us that A is female and B is her parent.

Relationship Determination: A and C

Combining the deduced relationships:

  • A is the daughter of B.
  • B is the brother of C.

Since B is the sibling of C, and A is the child of B, it follows that C is the sibling of A's parent (B). Therefore, C is the uncle or aunt of A.

As A is confirmed to be female (daughter), A is the niece of C.

Options Evaluation for A and C

Let's examine the given options based on our findings:

  • Option 1: A is niece of C - This aligns perfectly with our conclusion.
  • Option 2: A is daughter of C - This is incorrect because A is the daughter of B, not C.
  • Option 3: A is the cousin of C - This is incorrect. Cousins are children of parents' siblings, while A is the child of a sibling.
  • Option 4: A is the daughter-in-law of C - This suggests marriage into the family, which is not implied by the given relations.

Final Conclusion on A's Relation

After analyzing the expression A + B × C using the provided symbol definitions, the only true statement is that A is the niece of C.
