(B), (C) and (D) only

Correct Answer:

(B) and (D) only

Explanation:

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

  1. S ÷ J → S is the father of J
  2. J × B → J is the husband of B
    • So, S is father-in-law of B
  3. K − S → K is the wife of S
  4. B + C → B is the daughter of C
  5. 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.

(D) B is the daughter of C (Correct)
Directly given by B + C.

Correct Answer: (B) and (D) only
