Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Meanings recap:
A = B → B is the father of A
A * B → A is the sister of B
A ? B → B is the mother of A
A $ B → A is the brother of B
A @ B → B is the son of A
A × B → A is the daughter of B
Analysis of each given statement:
E $ F * G: E $ F means E is the brother of F. F * G means F is the sister of G. Combining these, E and G are siblings, but G's gender is not specified. Therefore the claim that G is the sister of E is not justified (only sibling relation is certain).
P × R ? Q: P × R means P is the daughter of R. R ? Q means Q is the mother of R. So Q is the grandmother of P, and P is the granddaughter of Q. The statement is correct.
G * H @ I = J: G * H means G is the sister of H. H @ I means I is the son of H. I = J means J is the father of I. Thus J is father of I and H is mother of I, so J and H are husband and wife. The statement is correct.
X = Y ? Z: X = Y means Y is the father of X. Y ? Z means Z is the mother of Y. Therefore Z is the mother of X's father, i.e., Z is the grandmother of X. The statement is correct.
Conclusion: The incorrect statement is: "E $ F * G means G is the sister of E" because only a sibling relationship between E and G is certain; G's gender is not determined.
