Previous Year Questions

Given:-

A + B' means 'A is the mother of B';

'A − B' means 'A is the brother of B';

'A X B' means 'A is the wife of B'

A ÷ B' means 'A is the father of B'

The equation is 5−2 X 4÷3

Let us solve from right to left since relationships are evaluated hierarchically.

1) Step 1: Evaluate 4÷3:

o 4÷3 means 4 is the father of 3.

So, 3's father is 4.

2) Step 2: Evaluate 2 X 4

o 2 X 4 means 2 is the wife of 4.

So, 2 is the mother of 3.

3) Step 3: Evaluate 5−2

o 5−25 - 25−2 means 5 is the brother of 2.

So, 5 is the brother of 3's mother (2).

Final Relationship

If 5 is the brother of 3's mother, then 5 is 3's maternal uncle.

Correct Answer: Mother's brother (Option 2).
