Question

Study the given arrangement carefully and answer the question that follows.

(Left) 3 ^ % 7 2 4 £ 3 ¥ 4 ƒ @ 8 8 & 6 @ 1 (Right)

How many such numbers are there in the above arrangement each of which is immediately followed by a symbol and also immediately preceded by a symbol?

• A. 9
• B. 11
• C. 4
• D. 3

Answer 1

Answer:

D. 3

There are 3 numbers in the arrangement that are immediately followed by a symbol and also immediately preceded by a symbol.

We need to find groups that fit the pattern: Symbol $\rightarrow$ Number $\rightarrow$ Symbol

Let's trace the sequence carefully from left to right:

• £ 3 ¥ $\rightarrow$ The number 3 is preceded by the symbol £ and followed by the symbol ¥.

• ¥ 4 ƒ $\rightarrow$ The number 4 is preceded by the symbol ¥ and followed by the symbol ƒ.

• & 6 @ $\rightarrow$ The number 6 is preceded by the symbol & and followed by the symbol @.

(Note: Other numbers like the first 8 or 7 do not match because they are either preceded or followed by another number instead of a symbol).
