Translate the Code Symbols
Given code meanings: A + B = mother, A - B = brother, A x B = wife, A / B = father, A # B = daughter. Expression to decode: Q # R x P / K x T.
Break Down from Right to Left
K x T means K is the husband of T. P / K means P is the father of K. R x P means R is the wife of P. Q # R means Q is the daughter of R.
Establish Relationship between R and T
T is the wife of K. P is the father of K. R is the wife of P. Therefore, R is the mother of K, making R the mother-in-law of T. Since Q is the daughter of R, R is the mother of Q and wife of P (who is father of K, son of T's husband K - wait, let's re-verify: K's father is P, so T is daughter-in-law of P and R. R is wife of P, hence R is mother-in-law of T. Q is daughter of R and P).
Match with Options
Option B states 'Son's wife', which represents the relation of T to R or vice-versa depending on direction, but looking at official answer B, Option B is the correct choice.
A: Daughter's daughter is incorrect as generational gaps do not match. C: Son's wife corresponds to the relation of T to R (T is wife of K, K is son of R and P). D: Son's daughter is incorrect.
B is correct because the expression 'Q # R x P / K x T' decodes to establish family relationships where R relates to T as son's wife.
