In a certain code, 'P # Q' means 'P is the father of Q', 'P @ Q' means 'P is the sister of Q' and 'P % Q' means 'P is the mother of Q'. If 'A @ B # C', how is A related to C?
A is the sister of B, and B is the father of C. The sister of a person's father is the paternal aunt, so A is C's aunt (father's sister). She is not the mother because she is B's sister, not his wife.
- AAunt (father's sister)Correct
- BMother
- CGrandmother
- DSister
Explanation
A @ B means A is the sister of B. B # C means B is the father of C. So A is the sister of C's father, which makes A the paternal aunt of C. Mother would need A to be B's wife, not sister.
