Question:

If A + B means A is the brother of B; A * B means A is the sister of B; A # B means A is the daughter of B and A - B means A is the wife of B, then in the expression U # C - D + H + T, how is H related to U?

Options:

Father

Uncle

Aunt

Brother

Correct Answer:

Uncle

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → Uncle

To determine the relationship between H and U, we need to break down the expression $U \# C - D + H + T$ step by step based on the provided code:

1. Decoding the Expression

We analyze the relationships from left to right:

  • $U \# C$: $U$ is the daughter of $C$.
  • $C - D$: $C$ is the wife of $D$. (This implies $D$ is the husband and $U$'s father).
  • $D + H$: $D$ is the brother of $H$.
  • $H + T$: $H$ is the brother of $T$. (This tells us $H$ is male).

2. Building the Family Tree

  • Generation 1 (Parents' Generation): $D$ (Father) and $C$ (Mother) are a married couple. $D$ has a brother named $H$.
  • Generation 2 (Child's Generation): $U$ is the daughter of $C$ and $D$.

3. Conclusion

Since $D$ is the father of $U$, and $H$ is the brother of $D$, then $H$ is the father's brother of $U$.

In family relationship terms, the father's brother is known as the Uncle
