Question

If

$P+Q$ means $P$ is the brother of $Q$;

$P\times Q$ means $P$ is the wife of $Q$ and

$P$ % $Q$ means $P$ is the daughter of $Q$

then which of the following means $D$ is the uncle of $A$ ?

• A. $A$ % $B\times C+D$
• B. $A\times B+C$ % $D$
• C. $A+C$ % $B\times D$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

None of these

option A:

$A$ % $B\times C+D$

means $A$ is the daughter of $B$, who is the wife of $C$, who is the brother of $D$.

means $B$ and $C$ are husband and wife and $A$ is their daughter. $C$ is $D$'s brother. But we don't know if $D$ is male or female. So we cannot confirm if $D$ is $A$'s uncle or aunt.

option B

$A\times B+C$ % $D$

means $A$ is the wife of $B$, who is the brother of $C$, who is the daughter of $D$.

means $B$ and $A$ are husband and wife. And $B$ and $C$ are $D$'s children.

So, $A$ is daughter-in-law of $D$.

option C:

$A+C$ % $B\times D$

means $A$ is the brother of $C$, who is the daughter of $B$, who is the wife of $D$.

means $D$ and $B$ are husband and wife and their son is $A$ and daughter is $B$.

So, none of the options give the relation.

So, option D.
