In a certain code, 'P * Q' means 'P is the mother of Q' and 'P / Q' means 'P is the brother of Q'. If 'A * B / C' is true, how is A related to C?
A is the mother of C. A is the mother of B, and B is C's brother, so A is also the mother of C because siblings share the same mother.
- AMotherCorrect
- BAunt
- CGrandmother
- DSister
Explanation
A * B means A is the mother of B. B / C means B is the brother of C. Brother and sister share the same mother, so A is also C's mother. Aunt or grandmother would need an extra generation or a sibling link for A, which the code does not give.
