Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option C

Brother's wife

Solution :

The correct option is Brother's wife.


To determine how E is related to K in the expression ‘E x F – G + H ÷ K’, let us break down the relation step-by-step using the given code language definitions:


1. E x F means ‘E is the wife of F’.
This implies that E is female and F is male (husband of E).


2. F – G means ‘F is the brother of G’.
So, F and G are siblings.


3. G + H means ‘G is the daughter of H’.
Since G is the daughter of H and F is the brother of G, both F and G are children of H.


4. H ÷ K means ‘H is the father of K’.
This means H is the father of K, as well as the father of F and G. Therefore, F, G, and K are siblings (children of H).


Now, let us combine these relationships to find how E is related to K:
- F is the brother of K.
- E is married to F (E is the wife of F).


Therefore, E is the brother's wife of K.
