Question

If 'A + B' means 'A is the son of B', 'A - B' means 'A is the wife of B', 'A × B' means 'A is the brother of B', 'A ÷ B' means 'A is the mother of B', and 'A = B' means 'A is the sister of B', what does P + R - Q mean?

• A. Q is the father of P
• B. Q is the son of P
• C. Q is the uncle of P
• D. Q is the brother of P

Hint:

When solving coded relationships, break down each component and assign gender relationships correctly.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Given the relationships: - \( P + R \) means \( P \) is the son of \( R \). - \( R - Q \) means \( R \) is the wife of \( Q \). Since \( R \) is the wife of \( Q \), this implies \( Q \) is the husband of \( R \). Thus, \( P \) being the son of \( R \) and \( R \) being the wife of \( Q \) means \( P \) is the son of \( Q \), making \( Q \) the father of \( P \).
