Refer to the following number and 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 symbol and also immediately followed by a symbol?
Zero
One
More than two
Two
One
Scan the series for consecutive symbol-symbol-symbol triplets. Look closely at the immediate neighbors of every symbol.
Scan the series for consecutive symbol-symbol-symbol triplets. Look closely at the immediate neighbors of every symbol.
Step 1: Understand the Condition
We need to find symbols that are immediately preceded by a symbol AND immediately followed by a symbol (i.e., three consecutive symbols: Symbol - Symbol - Symbol).
Step 2: Analyze the Given Series
Given series: 5 3% 4 6 & 8 $ 7 * Omega 9 # 1 2 & @ ┬г. Let us check every symbol in the series and its immediate neighbors.
Step 3: Check Each Symbol's Neighbors
% is between 3 and 4 (Number-Symbol-Number). & is between 6 and 8 (Number-Symbol-Number). $ is between 8 and 7 (Number-Symbol-Number). * is between 7 and Omega (Number-Symbol-Symbol? Wait, Omega is a symbol, * is preceded by 7 which is a number!). Let's check: 7 * Omega тЖТ * is preceded by number 7. Omega 9 # тЖТ Omega preceded by *, followed by 9. # is preceded by 9, followed by 1. & is preceded by 2, followed by @. @ is preceded by &, followed by ┬г. ┬г is preceded by @. None of the symbols are preceded by a symbol AND followed by a symbol.
Step 4: Conclusion
Since there are no such symbols satisfying the given condition, the count is Zero.
A: Zero is correct because no symbol has both preceding and succeeding symbols. C, D, and More than two are incorrect because the count is strictly 0.
A is correct because there are zero symbols in the given series that are immediately preceded and followed by a symbol.
Always carefully distinguish between numbers, letters, and symbols when scanning series in reasoning questions to avoid miscounting.
