Question 25

‘A + B’ means ‘A is the brother of B’.
‘A - B’ means ‘A is the wife of B’.
‘A $$\times$$ B’ means ‘A is the daughter of B’.
‘A $$\div$$ B’ means ‘A is the father of B’.
If P + S $$\times$$ Q $$\times$$ R - T $$\div$$ V $$\div$$ U, then how is T related to P ?

Solution

Given that,

‘A + B’ means ‘A is the brother of B’

‘A - B’ means ‘A is the wife of B’

‘A $$\times$$ B’ means ‘A is the daughter of B’

‘A $$\div$$ B’ means ‘A is the father of B’

From the above, translating the relation,

P is the brother of S

S is the daughter of Q, Q is the daughter of R, R wife of T , T is the father of V, V is the father of U.

Hence, T is the maternal grandfather of P
