‘Z + Y’ means ‘Z is the father of Y’
‘Z – Y’ means ‘Z is the mother of Y’
‘Z × Y’ means ‘Z is the brother of Y’
‘Z ÷ Y’ means ‘Z is the sister of Y’.
What does ‘A × B – C’ mean?
Correct Answer :
A is the mother’s brother of C
Solution :
The correct answer is: A is the mother’s brother of C.
To understand the relationship represented by the expression ‘A × B – C’, we need to break it down step-by-step based on the given relations:
1. The relation ‘Z × Y’ means ‘Z is the brother of Y’.
Therefore, ‘A × B’ means A is the brother of B.
2. The relation ‘Z – Y’ means ‘Z is the mother of Y’.
Therefore, ‘B – C’ means B is the mother of C.
Combining these two steps:
Since B is the mother of C, and A is the brother of B, A is the brother of C's mother.
Thus, ‘A × B – C’ means A is the mother’s brother of C (or maternal uncle of C).
