Maternal grandfather
Incorrect AnswerMaternal grandmother
Correct AnswerPaternal grandfather
Incorrect AnswerPaternal grandmother
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
Let's decode the given symbols first:
- A + B: B is daughter of A
- A - B: B is sister of A
- A × B: B is husband of A
- A ÷ B: A is father of B
Breakdown the expression: P ÷ R × T + Q - S × U + Z
Let's do it step by step:
1. P ÷ R: P is father of R
2. R × T: T is husband of R
3. T + Q: Q is daughter of T
4. Q - S: S is sister of Q
5. S × U: U is husband of S
6. U + Z: Z is daughter of U
Now, let's link them:
- P is father of R; R (female, since she has a husband T);
- R’s husband is T;
- T and R's daughter is Q;
- Q's sister is S;
- S's husband is U;
- U and S's daughter is Z.
Therefore, R is the mother of Q and S, R is grandmother of Z
Since R is mother of S, and S is mother of Z,
So R is Z's maternal grandmother.
Option 2, Maternal grandmother, is the correct answer.
