In a code, 'A @ B' means 'A is the father of B', 'A % B' means 'A is the sister of B', and 'A & B' means 'A is the wife of B'. In the expression P % Q @ R & S, how is P related to R?
P is the paternal aunt of R. P is the sister of Q, and Q is the father of R, so P is the sister of R's father, which is a paternal aunt.
- APaternal auntCorrect
- BMaternal aunt
- CMother-in-law
- DSister
Explanation
P % Q means P is the sister of Q. Q @ R means Q is the father of R. So P is the sister of R's father, which makes her R's paternal aunt. The statement R & S only tells us that S is R's husband and does not change P's link to R. Maternal aunt is wrong because that would be the mother's sister.
