Question

In a certain code language, A ~ B means ‘A is the daughter of B’ A × B means ‘A is the wife of B’ A + B means ‘A is the brother of B’ A ? B means ‘A is the father of B’ Based on the above, how is B related to O if 'B × R + A ~ V ? O’?

• A. Brother's father
• B. Brother's son
• C. Brother's sister
• D. Brother's wife

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Brother's wife

Based on the given code language, B is the brother's wife (or sister-in-law) of O.

Let's break down the coded expression 'B × R + A ~ V ? O' step by step from left to right:

1. B × R $\rightarrow$ B is the wife of R. (This implies R is a male and B is his female partner).

2. R + A $\rightarrow$ R is the brother of A. (Therefore, B is A's brother's wife).

3. A ~ V $\rightarrow$ A is the daughter of V. (Since R is A's brother, both R and A are children of V).

4. V ? O $\rightarrow$ V is the father of O. (This means R, A, and O are all siblings sharing the same father, V).

Conclusion

• R, A, and O are all brothers and sisters (siblings).

• R is a male sibling in this family.

• B is married to R.

Thus, in relation to O, B is O's brother's wife (sister-in-law).
