A man pointing to a photograph says, 'The lady in the photograph is my nephew's maternal grandmother.' How is the lady in the photograph related to the man's sister who has no other sister?
Explanation:
The man's nephew's maternal grandmother is the mother of the nephew's mother. Since the man's sister has no other sister, the nephew's mother is the man's sister. Therefore, the lady in the photograph is the mother of the man's sister.
'A + B' means 'A is the father of B' 'A – B' means 'A is the mother of B' 'A × B' means 'A is the husband of B' 'A ÷ B' means 'A is the sister of B' If C ÷ M – S – K + T × Q, then which of the following statements is not correct?
Explanation:
C ÷ M → C sister of M. M – S → M mother of S. S – K → S mother of K. K + T → K father of T. T × Q → T husband of Q. K is father-in-law of Q (true). S is mother of K, so S is not father of T's father. Hence B is incorrect. C: S is daughter of C's sister M (true). D: M is mother of S, who is mother of K, so M is mother of K's mother (true).
A party consists of a grandmother, a father, a mother, four sons, their wives, and one son and two daughters to each of the sons. How many females are there in all?
Explanation:
Let's count the females: 1 grandmother + 1 mother + 4 wives of the sons + 8 daughters (2 daughters for each of the 4 sons). Total females = 1 + 1 + 4 + 8 = 14.
