Cevap

Either brother or sister

Breaking down the expression shows that

J

M

, and

N

share the same parents (

K

and

L

J

is their daughter, and

M

is their son. The symbol sequence

M \$ N

establishes that

M

is the brother of

N

, which confirms

N

is a sibling to

J

. However, because no symbol defines the gender of

N

N

could be male or female, making the exact relationship either brother or sister.

Decode the sub-expression

M \$ N

M

is the brother of

N

M

is male, but the gender of

N

is not specified.

The relation '

M

is the brother of

N

' defines the gender of

M

, not

N

M

(and therefore also the mother of

N

L \% M

means

L

is the mother of

M

, who is sibling to

N

Decode

K @ L

K

is the husband of

L

, which makes

K

the father of

M

and

N

K @ L

means

K

and

L

are husband and wife.

Decode

J \# K

J

is the daughter of

K

(and

L

J \# K

means

J

is the daughter of

K

Determine the relationship between

N

and

J

Since

J

M

, and

N

are all children of the same parents (

K

and

L

N

is a sibling to

J

. As

N

's gender is unknown,

N

is either the brother or sister of

J

Gender cannot be assumed without an explicit defining symbol.
