• B. P + Q × S
• C. P × Q + S
• D. P × Q ÷ S

Hint:

In relationship-based problems, consider the meaning of each symbol and how it applies to familial relationships.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To determine which option indicates that P is the grandson of S, we need to understand the relationship operations implied by the symbols:

• ‘×’ typically denotes ‘is the father of’
• ‘+’ typically denotes ‘is the son of’
• ‘−’ typically denotes ‘is the brother of’
• ‘÷’ typically denotes ‘is the wife of’

Given these interpretations, we analyze each option:

1. P × Q − S: P is the father of Q and Q is the brother of S. This implies P is S's parent, not grandparent.
2. P + Q × S: P is the son of Q and Q is the father of S, making P the uncle or aunt of S.
3. P × Q + S: P is the father of Q and Q is the son of S, making P the grandson of S.
4. P × Q ÷ S: P is the father of Q and Q is the wife of S, so P is unrelated to S in terms of grandparent relationship.

Therefore, the correct option is P × Q + S, as it represents P is the grandson of S by being the father of Q, with Q being S's son.
