Use the given coded relationships to determine the answer. M - N means 'M is the mother of N'; M * N means 'M is the sister of N'; M % N means 'M is the husband of N'; M $ N means 'M is the son of N'. In the expression P * Q $ R - S * T % U, how is P related to U?
- Sister
- Wife
- Husband's sister
- Mother-in-law
Correct answer: Husband's sister
Solution
Tracing: P is sister of Q; Q is son of R; R is mother of S; S is sister of T; T is husband of U. This means P and Q are both children of R, and S is also R's child. T is S's brother (since S * T means S is T's sister), and T is U's husband. P is T's sister (both are R's children), so P is U's husband's sister.
