Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option A

Mother’s father

Solution :

The correct answer is Mother’s father.

Step-by-step Explanation:

We are given the following code meanings for the relations:

1. ‘P + Q’ means ‘P is the wife of Q’ (P is female, Q is male).
2. ‘P − Q’ means ‘P is the brother of Q’ (P is male).
3. ‘P / Q’ means ‘P is the son of Q’ (P is male).
4. ‘P × Q’ means ‘P is the father of Q’ (P is male).

Now, let us decode the expression ‘V / K × T + M × O’ step-by-step from left to right:

V / K: V is the son of K.
K × T: K is the father of T.
T + M: T is the wife of M (This implies T is female, and M is male).
M × O: M is the father of O.

Let us trace the relationship between K and O:

- Since M is the father of O and T is the wife of M, T is the mother of O.
- Since K is the father of T, K is the father of O's mother.
- Therefore, K is the Mother’s father of O (Maternal grandfather).
