Read Explanation:

There are only 2 such symbol matching the criteria in the series.

The target pattern: Letter →\rightarrow Symbol →\rightarrow Symbol

Step-by-step breakdown of the series from left to right:

  • F & L (Letter →\rightarrow Symbol →\rightarrow Letter) ❌

  • A V @ * →\rightarrow Here, V is a letter, @ is a symbol, and * is a symbol. (Match 1)

  • @ * K (Symbol →\rightarrow Symbol →\rightarrow Letter) ❌

  • Z > N (Letter →\rightarrow Symbol →\rightarrow Letter) ❌

Correction Note: Looking closely at the pairs, there are actually 2 instances:

  1. V@* (Letter V, Symbol @, Symbol *)

  2. U&# (Letter U, Symbol &, Symbol #)

Therefore, the final answer is 2.
