If 'A @ B' means 'A is the grandson of B', 'A # B' means 'A is the wife of B' and 'A * B' means 'A is the father of B', then what does ' ' mean, if Z has only 1 child?

  1. A
    W is the mother of X
  2. B
    W is the father of X
  3. C
    X is the mother of W
  4. D
    X is the father of W

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's break down the expressions from right to left:
1. ** **: Z is the wife of W. (Z is female , W is male , married couple).
2. ** : Y is the grandson of Z. Since Z and W are married, Y is also the grandson of W.
3.
**: X is the father of Y.

Now link with the given condition: "Z has only 1 child".

* Since Y is the grandson of Z, Y must be the child of Z's only child.
* We already know that X is the father of Y.
* Therefore, X must be that only child of Z and W.
* Since W is a male (husband of Z), W is the father of X.
