If Xis the brother of Y and P, Z is the mother of Y and Q is the father of X, which one of the following statement is not defi nitely true ?
- Y is the brother of P
- Xis the son of Z
- Z is the wife of Q
- X is the father of P
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
To solve the problem, let's analyze the relationships provided in the question:
- X is the brother of Y and P. This means X, Y, and P are siblings.
- Z is the mother of Y. Since Y is a sibling of X and P, Z is also the mother of X and P.
- Q is the father of X. Given X is the brother of Y and P, Q is also the father of Y and P.
Now, let's evaluate each of the options:
- Y is the brother of P: Since X, Y, and P are siblings and X is the brother, Y could also be a brother. This statement can be true but is not definitely confirmed as their gender is not specified.
- X is the son of Z: Since Z is the mother of X, X is indeed the son of Z. This statement is definitely true.
- Z is the wife of Q: Z is the mother and Q is the father of the same children (X, Y, P), so it is highly likely that Z and Q are husband and wife, making this statement definitely true.
- X is the father of P: This statement is not supported by the information given in the question. X is a sibling of P, not their father. Hence, this statement is not definitely true.
Based on the analysis, the option that is not definitely true is: X is the father of P.
Top Questions on Blood Relations
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)
