Refer to the following letter series and answer the question. Counting to be done from left to right. (Left) M M C R V I K Z J N L U W X W F O Y X F G(Right) How many such consonants are there, each of which is immediately preceded by a vowel and also immediately followed by a vowel?
One
Three
None
Two
None
Scan the series for Vowels (A, E, I, O, U) and check the letters immediately to their left and right; ignore any pairs that do not fit the Vowel-Consonant-Vowel sequence.

Identify Vowels and Consonants
In the series M M C R V I K Z J N L U W X W F O Y X F G, the vowels are I, U, and O.
Check neighbors of each Vowel
1. Vowel 'I': Preceded by 'V' (Consonant) and followed by 'K' (Consonant). Pattern: C-V-C. Does not fit V-C-V. 2. Vowel 'U': Preceded by 'L' (Consonant) and followed by 'W' (Consonant). Pattern: C-V-C. Does not fit V-C-V. 3. Vowel 'O': Preceded by 'F' (Consonant) and followed by 'Y' (Consonant). Pattern: C-V-C. Does not fit V-C-V.
Conclusion
Scanning all vowels in the string, none are found to be immediately preceded and followed by a consonant in the sequence Vowel-Consonant-Vowel (V-C-V). Thus, the count is zero.
A: Incorrect because there is no such sequence present in the series. B: Incorrect because zero, not three, satisfies the condition. D: Incorrect because no two such sequences exist.
C is correct because a thorough scan of all vowels in the series shows that none of them are surrounded by consonants on both sides in the Vowel-Consonant-Vowel format.
When counting elements with specific surrounding conditions, always mark the target elements (in this case, vowels) first, then check their immediate neighbors to avoid missing any or overcounting.
