In a certain code language,
A + B means ‘A is the mother of B’,
A – B means ‘A is the brother of B’,
A x B means ‘A is the wife of B’,
A % B means ‘A is the father of B’ and
A # B means ‘A is the daughter of B’.
How is E related to J if ‘E % V + T # H % J’?
Correct Answer :
Mother’s father
Solution :
The correct option is Mother’s father.
To determine how E is related to J, we decode the given expression ‘E % V + T # H % J’ step-by-step from left to right:
1. E % V:
Since '%' means 'A is the father of B', E is the father of V (E is Male).
2. V + T:
Since '+' means 'A is the mother of B', V is the mother of T (V is Female).
3. T # H:
Since '#' means 'A is the daughter of B', T is the daughter of H (T is Female).
Since V is the mother of T, and T is the daughter of H, it means V and H are married. Thus, H is the husband of V (H is the father of T).
4. H % J:
Since '%' means 'A is the father of B', H is the father of J.
Since H is married to V, J must be the child of V as well. Thus, V is the mother of J.
Now, let's trace the relationship between E and J:
- V is the mother of J.
- E is the father of V.
Therefore, E is the father of J's mother, which makes E the mother’s father of J.
