If ‘A\timesB’ means ‘A is the father of B’, ‘A+B’ means ‘A is the wife of B’, ‘A\divB’ means ‘A is the daughter of B’, and ‘A-B’ means ‘A is the son of B’, then how is M related to P in the expression ‘K\divM\timesC-P\divQ’?

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's deconstruct the expression step by step from left to right: K\divM⟹K is the daughter of M. M\timesC⟹M is the father of C. (Since M is a father, M is male). C-P⟹C is the son of P. Since M is the father of C, and C is the son of P, M and P must be the parents of C. Since M is male (father), P must be female and married to M, making P the mother. Therefore, M is the husband of P.
