Break the expression into individual segments: (A-B), (B×C), (C÷D), (D+E). Remember: + = Father, - = Son, × = Wife, ÷ = Brother.

Analyze the expression segments
Break 'A - B × C ÷ D + E' into binary relations: 1) A-B: A is the son of B. 2) B×C: B is the wife of C. 3) C÷D: C is the brother of D. 4) D+E: D is the father of E.
Mapping relationships
Since A is the son of B and B is the wife of C, C is the father of A. Since C is the brother of D, and D is the father of E, C is the brother of E's father (D).
Determine the relation
If D is the father of E, and C is the brother of D, then C is the 'father's brother' (paternal uncle) of E. However, the question asks 'how is C related to E'. Looking at the options provided, the structure implies determining the specific familial role relative to E.
B: Son is incorrect as C is the uncle. C: Father's father is the grandfather. D: Father is D, not C.
A is correct because based on the family tree mapping, C is the brother of D, and D is the father of E; therefore, C is the father's brother to E.
In blood relation coding, always draw a generational tree from top to bottom (Generations 1 to 4) to avoid confusion between uncles and fathers.
