Refer to the given 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 an even number and also immediately followed by an odd number?
One
More than two
None
Two
None
Scan the series specifically for symbols, then check the immediate neighbors: even number on the left and odd number on the right (Even Symbol Odd).
Scan the series specifically for symbols, then check the immediate neighbors: even number on the left and odd number on the right (Even Symbol Odd).
Analyze the series
The given series is: 7, &, 3, Omega, 9, 5, &, 4, 6, @, 8, , #, 1, *, ┬г, 5. We need to find symbols ('&', '\text{Omega}', '@', '', '#', '*', '┬г') that are preceded by an even number and followed by an odd number.
Evaluate each symbol
Check specific condition (Even Symbol Odd)
Let us re-scan the series: 7 (O), & (S), 3 (O), Omega (S), 9 (O), 5 (O), & (S), 4 (E), 6 (E), @ (S), 8 (E), $ (S), # (S), 1 (O), * (S), ┬г (S), 5 (O). No symbol in the provided sequence follows the pattern [Even number] [Symbol] [Odd number].
A: 'One' is incorrect because no such triplet exists. B: 'More than two' is incorrect because no triplets exist. D: 'Two' is incorrect because no such triplets exist.
C is correct because a thorough scan of the sequence (7 & 3 Omega 9 5 & 4 6 @ 8 $ # 1 * ┬г 5) reveals that there are zero symbols that are immediately preceded by an even number and immediately followed by an odd number.
When dealing with symbol-based series, always write the sequence down and mark every symbol first to avoid missing any or misinterpreting the neighbors.
