Question

In a family code, 'P @ Q' means P is the brother of Q, 'P # Q' means P is the mother of Q, 'P & Q' means P is the father of Q, and 'P % Q' means P is the sister of Q. Which of the following means that P is the maternal uncle of Q?

• A. P # M @ Q
• B. P % M # Q
• C. P @ M & Q
• D. P @ M # Q

Hint:

Maternal uncle = brother of the mother; you need the brother symbol linked to the mother symbol.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Test the options. 'P % M # Q' makes P a sister (aunt). 'P @ M & Q' makes M the father of Q, giving a paternal uncle. Only 'P @ M # Q' has P as brother of the mother M, which is the maternal uncle.
