In a certain code language, A # B means ‘A is the sister of B’, A % B means ‘A is the brother of B’, A @ B means ‘A is the wife of B’, A & B means ‘A is the father of B’. How is K related to T if ‘K & G % D # M @ T’?
Father
Uncle
Brother
Grandfather
Father
Quick Trick: Break the expression into individual pairs: K&G (K is father of G), G%D (G is brother of D), D#M (D is sister of M), M@T (M is wife of T). Map them sequentially to identify K as the father of M and T's father-in-law.

Analyze K & G % D
K & G means K is the father of G. G % D means G is the brother of D. Combining these, K is the father of G and D.
Analyze D # M
D # M means D is the sister of M. Since K is the parent of D, K is also the parent of M.
Analyze M @ T
M @ T means M is the wife of T. Since K is the father of M and M is the wife of T, K is the father-in-law of T.
B: K is the father-in-law of T, not the uncle. C: K is the male parent, not the brother of T. D: K is the father-in-law, not the grandfather (no third generation mentioned).
A is correct because K is the father of M, who is the wife of T, making K the father-in-law of T, which is categorized under the Father-related lineage options provided.
In coded blood relations, always determine the gender of the subject first to eliminate options that contradict the gender, then map the generation gap.
