Direction (6-10): Study the following digit-letter-symbol sequence carefully and answer the questions given below. 

* E 7 O & 6 ^ 4 Z 5 * 3 9 T ! D # 2 $ U

Q6. If all the digits are dropped, which of the following is third to the right of the eleventh from the right end? 
(a) ^ 
(b) 8 
(c) Z 
(d) & 
(e) T

Correct option – c
Analysis – 
Given Series – * E 7 O & 6 ^ 4 Z 5 * 3 9 T ! D # 2 $ U
After dropping digits – * E O & ^ Z * T ! D # $ U
So, eleventh from the right end – O
Therefore, third to the right of O – Z

Q7. What is the 7th element to the left of the element that is 9th from the right end? 
(a) & 
(b) C 
(c) 2 
(d) #
(e) $

Correct option – a
Analysis – 
Given Series – * E 7 O & 6 ^ 4 Z 5 * 3 9 T ! D # 2 $ U
9th from the right end – 3
So, the 7th element to the left of 3 – &
Hence, option a) is the correct answer.

Q8. How many digits are there which are preceded by a symbol and followed by a letter? 
(a) 0 
(b) 1 
(c) 2 
(d) 3 
(e) More than 3

Correct option – b
Analysis – 
Given Series – * E 7 O & 6 ^ 4 Z 5 * 3 9 T ! D # 2 $ U
So, there is one digit (4). Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.

Q9. If all the symbols are removed then what will be the element which is 9th from the left? 
(a) 4 
(b) 7 
(c) 1 
(d) 9 
(e) None of the above

Correct option – d
Analysis – 
Given Series – * E 7 O & 6 ^ 4 Z 5 * 3 9 T ! D # 2 $ U
After dropping symbols – E 7 O 6 4 Z 5 3 9 T D 2 U
So, 9th from the left end – 9
Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.

Q10. If all the digits are arranged in decreasing order from the left, how many digits will have their positions unchanged? 
(a) 0 
(b) 1 
(c) 2 
(d) 3 
(e) More than 3

Correct option – c
Analysis – 
Given Series – * E 7 O & 6 ^ 4 Z 5 * 3 9 T ! D # 2 $ U
After operation – * E 9 O & 7 ^ 6 Z 5 * 4 3 T ! D # 2 $ U
So, 2 digits that is 5 and 2 has not changed. Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.

Direction (11-15): Study the following digit-letter-symbol sequence carefully and answer the questions given below. 

Y Z # 8 F H 7 $ 3 M O & 9 7 G Q % K X @ 4 6 J I # D T S 8 $ 

Q11. What should come in place of the question mark in the following series? 

ZF#  7M$  &G9  %@K ? 

(a) JDI 
(b) 4I6 
(c) 6IJ 
(d) 6#J 
(e) None of these

Correct option – D
Analysis –
Given series – Y Z # 8 F H 7 $ 3 M O & 9 7 G Q % K X @ 4 6 J I # D T S 8 $ 
Therefore, option (d) is the correct answer.

Q12. How many such numbers are there in the given series which are immediately preceded or followed by a consonant? 
(a) Three 
(b) Four 
(c) More than five 
(d) Five 
(e) None of these

Correct option – c
Analysis –
Given series – Y Z # 8 F H 7 $ 3 M O & 9 7 G Q % K X @ 4 6 J I # D T S 8 $ 
So, there are six such numbers which are immediately preceded or followed by a consonant. Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.

Q13. If all the symbols are dropped from the series then which element will be fifth to the right of the one which is fourteenth from the right end of the new arrangement? 
(a) G 
(b) K 
(c) 4 
(d) X 
(e) None of these

Correct option – d
Analysis –
Given series – Y Z # 8 F H 7 $ 3 M O & 9 7 G Q % K X @ 4 6 J I # D T S 8 $ 
After dropping symbols – Y Z 8 F H 7 3 M O 9 7 G Q K X 4 6 J I D T S 8
So, fourteenth from the right end – 9
Then, fifth to the right of 9 – X
Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.

Q14. Which of the following element is 17th to the right of the one which is 24th from the right end of the given arrangement? 
(a) I 
(b) J 
(c) # 
(d) T 
(e) None of these

Correct option – a
Analysis –
Given series – Y Z # 8 F H 7 $ 3 M O & 9 7 G Q % K X @ 4 6 J I # D T S 8 $ 
So, 24th from the right end – 7
Then, 17th to the right of 7 – I
Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.

Q15. How many such symbols are there in the given series which are immediately preceded by a consonant but not immediately followed by a consonant? 
(a) Four 
(b) One 
(c) Three 
(d) Two 
(e) None of these

Correct option – a
Analysis –
Given series – Y Z # 8 F H 7 $ 3 M O & 9 7 G Q % K X @ 4 6 J I # D T S 8 $ 
So, there are four symbols. Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.
