Correct answer
A#Q@N#X
Why this answer is correct
We draw the following table from given conditions:
| B is | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| $ | # | * | @ |
| Father | Mother | Sister | Husband |
| of A |
Following symbols are used:
When the symbol A and B is interchanged we will proceed from the end side for better understanding.
We will check each option one by one:
a) A*Q#N$X (X is the father of N, N is the mother of Q, Q is the sister of A)
clearly seen, X is the grandfather of A not grandmother. FALSE
b) A@Q$N#X (X is the mother of N, N is the father of Q, Q is the husband of A)
Clearly seen, X is the grandmother of A's husband. FALSE
c) A#Q$X*N (N is the sister of X, X is the father of Q, Q is the mother of A)
Clearly seen, X is the grandfather of A not grandmother. FALSE
d) A#Q@N#X ( X is the mother of N, N is the husband of Q, Q is the mother of A)
Clearly seen, X is the grandmother of A. This is the correct relation. TRUE
Hence, A#Q@N#X is the correct option.
