Blood relation coded equation

CMAT 2018 · Logical Reasoning · Medium · Blood Relations

If a+ba + b means aa is sister of bb, a−ba - b means aa is brother of bb, a×ba \times b means aa is daughter of bb, a÷ba \div b means aa is mother of bb,

Which of the following relationship shows that pp and rr are wife and husband?

  1. A.

    p ÷ q x r

  2. B.

    p - q x r

  3. C.

    p + q x r

  4. D.

    p + q - r

Answer

A

Explanation

For option A (p÷q×rp \div q \times r): p÷q  ⟹  pp \div q \implies p is mother of qq (female). q×r  ⟹  qq \times r \implies q is daughter of rr. Since qq is daughter of both mother pp and rr, rr must be qq's father (husband of pp). Thus pp and rr are wife and husband.
