'A - B' means 'A is B's wife'.
'A + B' means 'A is B's brother'.
'A × B' means 'A is B's father'.
'A ÷ B' means 'A is B's sister'.
Using the same meaning of the mathematical operators as given above, in 'T × X ÷ Y + Z' what is T of Z's?
- ABrother
- BSon
- CMother
- DFather
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's break down the coded relationship expression 'T × X ÷ Y + Z':
T × X: T is the father of X (T[+] is one generation above X).
X ÷ Y: X is the sister of Y (X[−] and Y are siblings).
Y + Z: Y is the brother of Z (Y[+] and Z are siblings).
Since X, Y, and Z are all siblings, and T is the father of X, it follows that T is also the father of Y and Z.
Therefore, T is Z's Father.
T × X: T is the father of X (T[+] is one generation above X).
X ÷ Y: X is the sister of Y (X[−] and Y are siblings).
Y + Z: Y is the brother of Z (Y[+] and Z are siblings).
Since X, Y, and Z are all siblings, and T is the father of X, it follows that T is also the father of Y and Z.
Therefore, T is Z's Father.
