In a certain code language,
'A x B' means ‘A is the son of B’,
'A – B' means ‘A is the brother of B’,
'A + B' means ‘A is the wife of B’,
'A % B' means ‘A is the father of B’.
How is M related to T if ‘M x N + P % S – T’?
Correct Answer :
Brother
Solution :
The correct option is Brother.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following meanings for the symbols:
- 'A x B' means 'A is the son of B'
- 'A – B' means 'A is the brother of B'
- 'A + B' means 'A is the wife of B'
- 'A % B' means 'A is the father of B'
We need to find how M is related to T in the expression: M x N + P % S – T
Let's break down the relationships step-by-step from left to right:
1. M x N: 'M' is the son of 'N'. (This establishes that M is male).
2. N + P: 'N' is the wife of 'P'. Since N is the mother of M, P must be the husband of N, which makes P the father of M.
3. P % S: 'P' is the father of 'S'. Since P is the father of both M and S, M and S are siblings. Because M is male, M is the brother of S.
4. S – T: 'S' is the brother of 'T'. Since M is the brother of S, M is also the brother of T.
Therefore, M is the Brother of T.
