How is Rajinder related to Ashok? (Use the family information given above.)
In blood-relation sets, first group siblings under each couple; then use the parent-child links to map relationships (e.g., mother's brother \(\Rightarrow\) maternal uncle).
Father-in-law
Brother-in-law
Step 1: Decode siblings from the bullets.
Seeta, Rajinder, and Surinder are children of Mr. & Mrs. Aggarwal \(\Rightarrow\) they are siblings.
Step 2: Identify Ashok's parents.
\(\;\)Sunil and Seeta are a married couple and Ashok and Sanjay are their children \(\Rightarrow\) Ashok's mother = Seeta.
Step 3: Relate Rajinder to Ashok via Seeta.
Since Rajinder and Seeta are siblings, Rajinder is Seeta's brother.
Therefore, relative to Seeta's son Ashok, Rajinder is \(\boxed{\text{maternal uncle}}\).
In a small town lived a close-knit family where every relation could be expressed through simple symbols. For instance, when they said \( A \times B \), it meant \( A \) is the father of \( B \), while \( A \div B \) meant \( A \) is the mother of \( B \). The younger ones were often introduced with \( A + B \), meaning \( A \) was the daughter of \( B \), and the bond of brotherhood was shown by \( A - B \) (A is brother of B).
One day, the children in the family turned these symbols into a playful code. Instead of introducing their parents and siblings in words, they spoke only in symbols. “Look,” giggled little Meena, “\( M + N \div O \)!” Everyone laughed, because they knew it meant Meena was the daughter of \( N \), and \( N \) was the mother of \( O \), making her \( O \)’s sister. What started as a code soon became a family game, making the bonds of father, mother, daughter, and brother not just relations, but symbols of love and togetherness. (165 words)
