(Left) 2 6 # @ 8 $ 7 + 1 * £ 5 & 3 Ω 9 % 4 (Right)

How many such symbols are there each of which is immediately preceded by a number and also immediately followed by another number?

• D. 4

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 5

To find the correct answer, we need to look for patterns that follow this specific order:
Number $\rightarrow$ Symbol $\rightarrow$ Number

Let's check every symbol in the series from left to right:

• # : Preceded by 6 (number), followed by @ (symbol) — No

• @ : Preceded by # (symbol), followed by 8 (number) — No

• : Preceded by 8 (number), followed by 7 (number) — Yes

• + : Preceded by 7 (number), followed by 1 (number) — Yes

• *** ** : Preceded by 1 (number), followed by £ (symbol) — No

• £ : Preceded by * (symbol), followed by 5 (number) — No

• & : Preceded by 5 (number), followed by 3 (number) — Yes

• Ω : Preceded by 3 (number), followed by 9 (number) — Yes

• % : Preceded by 9 (number), followed by 4 (number) — Yes

Conclusion:

There are 5 such symbols ( , + , & , Ω , and %).
