SSC CPO - 12 Dec 2025 - Shift 2 • Reasoning • Q149

If 'P @ Q' means 'P is the wife of Q', 'P # Q' means 'P is the son of Q', and 'P $ Q' means 'P is the father of Q', then what is the relationship of K to H in the expression: H # I @ J # K?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

From the diagram:

  • (+) → Male
  • (−) → Female
  • (=) → Marriage

Relationships:

  • I(−) is married to J(+) → I is the wife of J
  • H(+) is the son of I
  • J(+) is the son of K

Reasoning:

H is the son of I, and I is the wife of J ⇒ H is also the son of J.

J is the son of K ⇒ K is the father of J.

Therefore, K is H's grandfather (paternal).
