Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

Uncle

Solution :

The correct option/answer is Uncle.

To determine how H is related to U, we can break down the given expression, U # C - D + H + T, step-by-step from left to right based on the defined relationships:

1. U # C: The symbol '#' means the first person is the daughter of the second. Therefore, U is the daughter of C.
2. C - D: The symbol '-' means the first person is the wife of the second. Therefore, C is the wife of D. This implies that D is the husband of C, and together they are the parents of U (C is the mother, and D is the father).
3. D + H: The symbol '+' means the first person is the brother of the second. Therefore, D is the brother of H.
4. H + T: The symbol '+' means the first person is the brother of the second. Therefore, H is the brother of T. Since H is a brother, we know that H is male.

Now, let's trace the relationship between H and U:
- U's father is D.
- D's brother is H.
- Since H is the brother of U's father (D), H is the paternal uncle of U.

Thus, H is the Uncle of U.
