Understanding the Symbols
- A $ B: A is the brother of B
- A @ B: A is the wife of B
- A # B: A is the daughter of B
- A * B: A is the father of B
Analyzing Option A
The expression in option A is:
P @ Q $ T # U * W
Let's break it down step by step:
1. P @ Q: P is the wife of Q.
2. Q $ T: Since Q is the husband of P and P is the wife, Q must be the brother of T.
3. T # U: T is the daughter of U.
4. U * W: U is the father of W.
From this breakdown, we can infer the relationships:
- P (Wife of Q)
- Q (Brother of T)
- T (Daughter of U)
- U (Father of W)
Thus, since P is married to Q, and Q is the brother of T, it follows that U is the father-in-law of P.
Conclusion
The relationships outlined in option A clearly establish that U is indeed the father-in-law of P. This makes option A the correct choice to indicate the relationship required in the question.
- A $ B: A is the brother of B
- A @ B: A is the wife of B

Understanding Family Relationships
To determine how Z is related to M, we need to analyze the family structure described in the information provided.
Family Structure Breakdown
- **Members:** There are seven members in total.
- **Couples:** There are two married couples.
- **Children:** K has two children, one of whom is R.
- **Gender Relation:** The genders of X and R are the same, indicating both are either male or female.
Identifying Each Member
- **X and Z's Relationship:** X and Z are a married couple.
- **R's Parentage:** R is the son of K. Since Z is married to X, and K and Z are of the same gender, K must also be female.
- **V's Relationship:** V is the brother-in-law of R, meaning V is married to R's sister (who is X).
Connecting M to Z
- **M's Position:** M is identified as the sister-in-law of L, who is Z's daughter-in-law.
- Since L is the daughter-in-law of Z, it implies that Z has a child who is married to L.
Conclusion on Relationship
- Given that Z is the mother of R and M is the sister-in-law of L (married to R), this confirms that Z is M's mother.
Thus, Z is M's mother, leading to the correct answer being option 'B' (Mother).

Understanding the Family Relationships
To decipher how T is related to V, let's break down the information provided:
Family Composition
- The family consists of **seven members**.
- There are **three married couples**.
Key Relationships
- **T** is the paternal uncle of **N**.
- **N** is married to **S**.
- **V** is the mother-in-law of **S**.
- **L** has only one kid.
- **S** and **V** are of the same gender, which implies both are female.
- **K** is the paternal grandmother of **N**.
- **T** is the son of **M**.
Analyzing the Relationships
1. Since **T** is the uncle of **N**, he must be the brother of **N's parent** (either the father or mother).
2. **S**, being married to **N**, makes **V** the mother of **N** (and hence the mother-in-law of **S**), indicating **V** is married to **N's father**.
3. Given that **T** is the brother of **N's parent**, he is the **brother-in-law** of **V**.
Conclusion
Since **T** is the brother of **V's husband**, he is best described as **V's brother-in-law**. Therefore, the correct answer is option **'B'**.

Solution:
To find out the relation between I and J, we need to look for a combination of symbols that means "I is the niece of J."
Given:
- X Y means X is the daughter of Y
- X - Y means X is the brother of Y
- X % Y means X is the father of Y
- X x Y means X is the sister of Y
We need to find the combination of symbols that means I is the niece of J.
Explanation:
- J - N % C x I: This means J is the brother of N, who is the father of C, who is the sister of I. This does not give us the relation we are looking for.
- I x C - N % J: This means I is the sister of C, who is the daughter of N, who is the father of J. This does not give us the relation we are looking for.
- J M x C % I: This means J is the daughter of M, who is the sister of C, who is the father of I. This does not give us the relation we are looking for.
- I x C N - J: This means I is the sister of C, who is the daughter of N, who is the brother of J. This gives us the relation we are looking for. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
Final answer: Option D - I x C N - J means I is the niece of J.

- I x C N - J: This means I is the sister of C, who is the daughter of N, who is the brother of J. This gives us the relation we are looking for. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
