If A is the brother of B; B is the sister of C; and C is the father of D, how D is related to A?
A. Brother
B. Nephew
C. Sister
D. Cannot be determined
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
A and B are siblings of C. C is the father of D. Therefore, A is the paternal uncle of D. However, the gender of D is not specified in the question, so D could be either a nephew or a niece. Hence, it cannot be determined.
'P @ Q' means 'P is the husband of Q' 'P & Q' means 'P is the mother of Q' 'P # Q' means 'P is the wife of Q' 'P × Q' means 'P is brother of Q' If 'A @ B & C × D # E' then how is E related to A?
Explanation:
A @ B → A husband of B. B & C → B mother of C. So C is child of A and B. C × D → C brother of D, so D is sister of C. D # E → D wife of E. Hence E is husband of D (daughter of A), i.e., daughter's husband.
Explanation:
A brother of C → A male. B father of C → B father of A and C. D wife of A → D is A's wife. E daughter of D → E is daughter of A and D. A is son of B, so E is granddaughter of B, i.e., son's daughter.
