Son-in-law

Solution :

To solve this blood relation problem, we need to decode the relationships step-by-step from the given statement and expressions.

1. Decode the Relationship Codes:
- X @ Y: X is the son of Y.
- X # Y: X is the mother of Y.
- X $ Y: X is the spouse (husband/wife) 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.

2. Analyze the Main Statement:
The main statement is: V$A+B, E&T, C#S*T, B@H%C$E

Let us decode each part of the main statement:
- C $ E: C is the spouse of E.
- E & T: E is the father of T (male). Since C is spouse to E, C must be the mother of T (female).
- C # S * T: C is the mother of S, and S is the sister of T. So, C and E are parents of S (female) and T.
- H % C: H is the daughter-in-law of C. Since T is the son (brother of sister S), H must be married to T (T is male, H is female).
- B @ H: B is the son of H. Therefore, B is the son of T and H.
- V $ A + B: V is the spouse of A, and A is the grandmother of B. Since B's father is T, B's paternal grandmother is C (mother of T). Thus, A must be the maternal grandmother of B, meaning A is the mother of H. Since V is the spouse of A, V must be the father of H (maternal grandfather of B).
From this, V (male) is married to A (female), and their daughter is H.
H is married to T. So, the son-in-law of V is T.

3. Analyze the Additional Condition:
The additional condition is: K*B, N$K, M#N
- K * B: K is the sister of B. Since B is the son of T and H, K is the daughter of T and H.
- N $ K: N is the spouse of K. Since K is female (sister of B), N must be male (husband of K).
- M # N: M is the mother of N.

4. Determine the Required Relationship:
We need to find how B’s brother-in-law is related to V’s son-in-law.
- B's brother-in-law: B's sister is K, and K's husband is N. Therefore, B's brother-in-law is N.
- V's son-in-law: V's daughter is H, and H's husband is T. Therefore, V's son-in-law is T.
- Relation between N and T: N is the husband of K. K is the daughter of T. Thus, N is the husband of T's daughter.
This makes N the Son-in-law of T.

Therefore, B's brother-in-law (N) is the Son-in-law of V's son-in-law (T).
