Question

In a certain code language, A @ B means ‘A is the sister 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’. Based on the above, how is S related to T if ‘S + D # R & Y @ T’?

• A. Sister
• B. Daughter
• C. Mother
• D. Wife

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Mother

S is the mother of T.

Here is the step-by-step breakdown of the expression ‘S + D # R & Y @ T’ working from left to right:

• S + D: S is the wife of D (meaning D is the husband).

• D # R: D is the father of R.

• R & Y: R is the brother of Y.

• Y @ T: Y is the sister of T.

Family Hierarchy:

• D and S are married (Husband and Wife).

• D is the father of R, Y, and T (they are all siblings).

• Since S is married to D, S must be the mother of all three siblings (R, Y, and T).
