(b) 'A \(-\) B' means that 'A' is the wife of 'B'
(c) 'A × B' means that 'A' is the brother of 'B'
(d) 'A ÷ B' means that 'A' is the daughter of 'B'
If it is given 'P ÷ R + S + Q', then which of the following is true ?
- P is a Daughter of Q
- P is aunt of Q
- Q is aunt of P
- P is a Mother of Q
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
To solve the given logical reasoning problem, we need to translate the symbolic relationships into a family tree and determine which statement correctly describes the relationship between 'P' and 'Q'. Let's break down the expression given: 'P ÷ R + S + Q'.
-
Understand the Symbols:
- 'A ÷ B' means A is the daughter of B.
- 'A + B' means A is the father of B.
-
Express the Relationships:
- P ÷ R: P is the daughter of R.
- R + S: R is the father of S.
- S + Q: S is the father of Q.
-
Analyze the Family Tree:
Since P is the daughter of R, it implies R is the parent of P. From R + S, R is the father of S, so S and P are siblings. Lastly, S is the father of Q, making P the aunt (sister of Q's parent) of Q because P and S are siblings.
- Conclusion: The correct answer is: P is aunt of Q.
Thus, using the defined relationship symbols, analyzing each relationship step-by-step, we see that the only statement that is accurate within the context of the family tree is that P is the aunt of Q.
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)
