In a certain code language: A+B means 'A is the mother of B', AтИТB means 'A is the brother of B', A├ЧB means 'A is the wife of B', A├╖B means 'A is the father of B', and A#B means 'A is the daughter of B'. How is P related to K if 'QтИТS+PтИТT#R├╖K'?
Brother
Sister
Father
Mother
Brother
Decode the expression from left to right or right to left, translating each symbol into family relations to trace the generational lineage.
Decode the expression from left to right or right to left, translating each symbol into family relations to trace the generational lineage.
Step 1: Decode Q - S
A - B means A is the brother of B. Thus, Q - S means Q is the brother of S.
Step 2: Decode S + P
A + B means A is the mother of B. Thus, S + P means S is the mother of P. (Since Q is the brother of S, Q is the maternal uncle of P).
Step 3: Decode P - T
A - B means A is the brother of B. Thus, P - T means P is the brother of T.
Step 4: Analyze remainder and relation to K
Since P is the brother of T, and T # R div K links further down the lineage, P remains the brother in the sibling group including T and connected members.
B: Sister is incorrect because P is male ('A is the brother of B'). C: Father is incorrect as P belongs to the same sibling tier. D: Mother is incorrect as P is male.
Brother is correct because in the expression 'Q - S + P - T # R div K', Q is the brother of S, S is the mother of P, and P - T establishes P as the brother.
Always determine the gender of the person in question using the given code definitions before finalizing the final relation term.
