Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (B) and (D) only
Let us decode the expression step by step.
Given symbols
- A + B → A is daughter of B
- A − B → A is wife of B
- A × B → A is husband of B
- A ÷ B → A is father of B
Expression
K − S ÷ J × B + C − Q
Stepwise interpretation
- S ÷ J → S is the father of J
- J × B → J is the husband of B
- So, S is father-in-law of B
- K − S → K is the wife of S
- B + C → B is the daughter of C
- C − Q → C is the wife of Q
- Hence, Q is the father of B
Checking the statements
(A) K is the father-in-law of B (Incorrect)
K is the mother-in-law of B, not father-in-law.
(B) J is the son-in-law of Q (Correct)
J is husband of B, and Q is father of B.
(C) S is the father of B (Incorrect)
S is father-in-law, not father.
