Symbolic-kinship decoding: Find the chain that makes U the father-in-law of P. Operator meanings: 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 Choose the expression in which U becomes P’s father-in-law.

Difficulty: Medium

Correct Answer: P @ Q $ T # U * W

Explanation:


Decode option (a)
P @ Q ⇒ P is wife of Q ⇒ Q is P’s husband. Q $ T ⇒ Q is brother of T ⇒ Q and T are siblings. T # U ⇒ T is daughter of U ⇒ U is a parent of T. U * W ⇒ U is the father of W ⇒ U is confirmed male. Since Q & T are siblings and T is child of U, Q is also child of U. Thus U is father of Q, who is P’s spouse ⇒ U is P’s father-in-law.


Why others fail
(b)–(d) do not anchor U as the father of P’s spouse.
