Question

In a certain code language, A @ B means ‘A is the son of B’, A # B means ‘A is the father of B’, A + B means ‘A is the wife of B’, A * B means ‘A is the brother of B’. Based on the above, how is S related to K if ‘S + T @ O # C * K’?

• A. Brother's mother
• B. Brother's wife
• C. Brother's sister
• D. Brother's brother

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Brother's wife

To find out how S is related to K, let's break down the expression S + T @ O # C * K step by step from left to right:

1. S + T: S is the wife of T. (This means S is female, and T is male).

2. T @ O: T is the son of O. (Combined with the first step, S is the daughter-in-law of O).

3. O # C: O is the father of C. (Since T is also a son of O, T and C are siblings).

4. C * K: C is the brother of K.

Family Structure Analysis:

• O is the father.

• T, C, and K are siblings (children of O).

• T is married to S.

Since T is K's brother, and S is married to T, S is the wife of K's brother.

Conclusion:

S is the sister-in-law (brother's wife) of K.
