Correct Answer :

Option B

Son-in-law

Son-in-law

Solution :

First, let us decode the relationship codes given in the question:
- X @ Y: X is the son of Y.
- X # Y: X is the mother of Y.
- X $ Y: X is the spouse of Y.
- X % Y: X is the daughter-in-law of Y.
- X * Y: X is the sister of Y.
- X & Y: X is the father of Y.
- X + Y: X is the grandmother of Y.

Now, let us analyze the given main statements: V $ A + B, E & T, C # S * T, B @ H % C $ E

1. From B @ H % C $ E:
- C $ E: C and E are spouses (E is husband, C is wife).
- H % C: H is the daughter-in-law of C, meaning H is married to a son of C.
- B @ H: B is the son of H. Thus, B's father is C's son.
Let this husband of H (son of C and E) be represented as U. Thus, U is the father of B.

2. From V $ A + B:
- A is the grandmother of B. Since C is already the paternal grandmother of B (mother of B's father U), A must be the maternal grandmother of B (mother of H).
- V is the spouse of A. Since A is female, V is male. Therefore, V is the maternal grandfather of B (father of H).

3. Identify V's son-in-law:
- Since V is the father of H, the husband of H (which is U) is V's son-in-law.

4. Now, let us decode the conditional statement: K * B, N $ K, M # N
- K * B: K is the sister of B. Since B's parents are U and H, K's parents are also U and H.
- N $ K: N is the spouse of K. Since K is female (sister of B), N is the husband of K (male).
- Thus, N is the brother-in-law of B. Also, since N is married to U's daughter K, N is the son-in-law of U.

5. Establish the final relationship:
- B's brother-in-law is N.
- V's son-in-law is U.
- Since N is the husband of U's daughter (K), N is the Son-in-law of U.

Therefore, B's brother-in-law is the Son-in-law of V's son-in-law.
