Refer to the given number, symbol series and answer the question that follows. Counting to be done from left to right only.
How many such symbols are there each of which is immediately preceded by a number and also immediately followed by another number?
Three
Four
One
Two
Two
Scan the series specifically looking for the target pattern: Number followed immediately by a Symbol and then another Number (Number-Symbol-Number).
Scan the series specifically looking for the target pattern: Number followed immediately by a Symbol and then another Number (Number-Symbol-Number).
Understand the Rule
We need to find symbols that have a number immediately on their left (preceded) and a number immediately on their right (followed). Format: [Number] [Symbol] [Number].
Scan the Series
Given series from left to right: $7 @ 6 = & 5 тДж 4 > # 8 & % 9 1 * ┬г 3. Let's check every symbol position from left to right.
Evaluate Matches
A: Three is incorrect because only two valid triplets exist. B: Four is incorrect as the count is strictly two. C: One is incorrect since two pairs are found in the series.
D is correct because exactly two symbols satisfy the condition of being immediately preceded and followed by a number.
In alphanumeric series questions, always underline or circle the target condition (e.g., Number-Symbol-Number) before scanning to avoid missing adjacent symbols.
