Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Decoding the expression: K - S ÷ J × B + C - Q

Using the given operators:

  • K - S: K is wife of S
  • S ÷ J: S is father of J
  • J × B: J is husband of B
  • B + C: B is daughter of C
  • C - Q: C is wife of Q

The family relationships:

S (male) and K (female) are married, with K as the wife.

S is the father of J, making J their son.

J (male) and B (female) are married, with J as the husband.

C is the mother of B (since B is daughter of C).

Q (male) and C (female) are married, making Q the father of B.

Family structure:

  • First couple: S and K (parents of J)
  • Second couple: Q and C (parents of B)
  • Third couple: J and B (married to each other)

Checking each statement:

(A) K is the father-in-law of B.

K is the wife of S and mother of J. Since J is married to B, K is the mother-in-law of B, not father-in-law.

(A) is FALSE.


(B) J is the son-in-law of Q.

Q is the husband of C, and C is the mother of B, making Q the father of B. Since J is married to B, J is the son-in-law of Q.

(B) is TRUE.


(C) S is the father of B.

S is the father of J, not B. S is the father-in-law of B through J's marriage.

(C) is FALSE.


(D) B is the daughter of C.

This is directly stated in the expression B + C.

(D) is TRUE.


Statements (B) and (D) only are correct.

The answer is Option 2.
