Answers
Answer:
'P + Q' means 'P is the mother of Q; 'P – Q' means 'P is the brother of Q'. 'P * Q' means 'P is the sister of Q'. Explanation:A + B # C – D means A is the mother of B, who is the father of C, who is the brother of D, i.e., A is grandmother of D.
Here the Concept of relations has been used. We see we are given the relation due to symbols like + , - and × . Using these symbols, we can apply this in the given case to find the relation. Since we need to find the maternal uncle of R so we need to convert relation in terms of R.
Let's do it !!

★ Correct Question :-
If ‘P + Q’ means P is the brother of Q ; ‘P - Q’ Means P is the Mother Of O ; ‘P × Q’ Means P is the sister Of Q , Then Which Will Of the following Means ‘M is the Maternal uncle of R’.
1. M - R + K
2. M + K - R
3. M + K + R
4. M - K - R

★ Solution :-
Given,
» P + Q = P is the brother of Q
» P - Q = P is the mother of Q
» P × Q = P is the sister of Q
This means,
- + shows relation of Brother
- - shows relation of Mother
- × shows relation of Sister
Now we need to find a relation that shows M is the Maternal Uncle of R.
Let's see have a trial and error method on each options. We will be following the rule of BODMAS that is first multiplication then addition and then subtraction here.
Here we see that its given R + K which means R is the brother of K. And M - R + K means M is the mother of R and K who are brothers.
So this is wrong option.
Here we see that its given M + K which shows that M is the brother of K. And K - R shows that K is the mother of R. And we know that Brother of Mother is Maternal Uncle. This shows M is the maternal uncle of R.
Hence, this option is correct.
Here we see that M + K shows that M and K are brothers. And K + R shows that R is the brother of K . Hence, M, K and R are brothers.
Hence, this option is wrong.
Here we see that M - K shows that M is the mother of K. And K - R shows that K is the mother of R. Hence, M is the maternal grandmother of R and K is the mother of R.
