Question

Study the given letter, number, symbol series and answer the question that follows.

7 T % N 9 * M $ 3 U = L 8 Y @ G & 3 E > 5 & R 3 ! K # 7 % H = Y 6

Find out the total number of letters that are immediately followed by a number and immediately preceded by a symbol.

• A. 2
• B. 4
• C. 3
• D. 1

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 4

There are 4 letters in the series that are immediately followed by a number and immediately preceded by a symbol.

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

Let's check the entire sequence carefully from left to right:

1. % N 9 $\rightarrow$ The letter N is preceded by the symbol % and followed by the number 9.

2. $3 U</code>$\rightarrow$Not a match (Letter <code color="rgb(0,0,0)" style="padding: 2px 4px; border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(224, 224, 224); background: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 0.9em; line-height: 1.4;">U</code> is followed by <code color="rgb(0,0,0)" style="padding: 2px 4px; border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(224, 224, 224); background: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 0.9em; line-height: 1.4;">=</code>, not a number).</p></li><li><p data-pxy="true" style="color: rgb(0,0,0); margin-top: 2px; margin-bottom: 2px;"><code color="rgb(0,0,0)" style="padding: 2px 4px; border-radius: 4px; border: 1px solid rgb(224, 224, 224); background: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 0.9em; line-height: 1.4;">= L 8</code>$\rightarrow The letter L is preceded by the symbol = and followed by the number 8.

3. & 3 E \rightarrow Not a match (Number 3 is between a symbol and a letter).

4. > 5 & \rightarrow Not a match (Number 5 is between two symbols).

5. & R 3 \rightarrow The letter R is preceded by the symbol & and followed by the number 3.

6. = Y 6 \rightarrow$ The letter Y is preceded by the symbol = and followed by the number 6.
