This is a logic puzzle about family relationships. You are given information about how A, B, C, and D are related:
You are then asked to determine which of the following statements is true:
By constructing a family tree and analyzing the possible connections, we find that the only true statement is C: If E is another daughter of B, she would be A's sister.
The correct answer is (C) : If E is B's daughter, then she is A's sister
This logic puzzle asks you to identify the false statement among several options describing the relationship between A and D, who are related through a family tree.
Key information:
By constructing a family tree and carefully analyzing each statement, we can deduce that the only necessarily false statement is:
D (A is D's father's son's grand-daughter): This statement creates a paradox where A would be the granddaughter of her own potential daughter, which is impossible.
The correct answer is (D) : A is D's father's son's grand daughter
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)
