'A ÷ B' means 'A is the wife of B',
'A & B' means 'A is the brother of B',
'A × B' means 'A is the sister of B',

If 'A×Z+P&R÷Q−S', then how is Z related to S?

  1. A
    Father's mother
  2. B
    Mother
  3. C
    Mother's father
  4. D
    Mother's mother

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's break down the expression step by step from left to right:
A×Z→ A is the sister of Z.

Z+P→ Z is the mother of P (Z is female).

P&R→ P is the brother of R.

R÷Q→ R is the wife of Q (R is female, Q is male).

Q−S→ Q is the father of S.

Now let's trace the relation between Z and S:

Q is the father of S.

R is the wife of Q, which means R is the mother of S.

P is the brother of R, so P is the maternal uncle of S.

Z is the mother of P and R, which means Z is the mother of S's mother (R).

Therefore, Z is the Mother's mother (Maternal Grandmother) of S.
