How many such consonants are there in the above arrangement each of which is immediately preceded by a symbol and immediately followed by a number?

  1. AOption (a)

    Three

  2. BOption (b)

    Two

  3. COption (c)

  4. DOption (d)

  5. EOption (e)

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

Two

Why this answer is correct

Given series:

(Left side) Y 5 @ N 2 # U 9 B E 6 % S © 3 Q A & 7 W I ¥ Z 8 £ (Right side)

Now, consonants which are immediately preceded by a symbol and immediately followed by a number: Symbol → Consonant → Number

Y 5 @ N 2 # U 9 B E 6 % S © 3 Q A & 7 W I ¥ Z 8 £

Hence, there are two consonants N and Z which are immediately preceded by a symbol and immediately followed by a number → @ N 2 and ¥ Z 8.

Note: A, E, I, O, U are the vowels in English alphabet and all else are called consonants.

Mistake Points 

Please note that U is not a consonant.

According to the question, the pattern should be

Symbol → Consonant → Number

Y 5 @ N 2 # U 9 B E 6 % S © 3 Q A & 7 W I ¥ Z 8 £

Hence, there are two consonants N and Z which are immediately preceded by a symbol and immediately followed by a number → @ N 2 and ¥ Z 8.

Why this answer is correct

Given series:

Here, each element of each term moves 6 steps forward to give the corresponding element of the next term.

@ + 6 = B; B + 6 = 3; 3 + 6 = I

2 + 6 = 6; 6 + 6 = A; A + 6 = Z

U + 6 = S; S + 6 = 7; 7 + 6 = £

Hence, according to this the missing term will be 3 A 7.

Q

Why this answer is correct

Given series:

(Left side) Y 5 @ N 2 # U 9 B E 6 % S © 3 Q A & 7 W I ¥ Z 8 £ (Right side)

When all the vowels are dropped, the new sequence is;

Y 5 @ N 2 # 9 B 6 % S © 3 Q & 7 W ¥ Z 8 £

Now, the 8th term from the right in the new sequence:

(Y 5 @ N 2 # 9 B 6 % S © 3 Q & 7 W ¥ Z 8 £) → Q.

Hence, “Q” is the correct answer. 

Note: A, E, I, O, U are the vowels in English alphabet and all else are called consonants.

The new sequence after reversing the last 12 elements;

Y 5 @ N 2 # U 9 B E 6 % S £ 8 Z ¥ I W 7 & A Q 3 ©

As, Left – Left = Left

21st from the left – 6th from the left = 15th from the left

Hence, 15th from the left is 8.

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

6 S 3

Why this answer is correct

Given series:

(Left side) Y 5 @ N 2 # U 9 B E 6 % S © 3 Q A & 7 W I ¥ Z 8 £ (Right side)

Here, the group is formed in which the first and second elements move 2 steps forward and 4 steps backward respectively to give the second and third elements.

  1. + 2 = 9; 9 - 4 = N

2) 6 + 2 = S; S + 2 = 3

  1. 7 + 2 = I; I - 4 = A

  2. ¥ + 2 = 8; 8 - 4 = W

  3. @ + 2 = 2; 2 - 4 = Y

Hence, 6 S 3 does not belong to that group.

Correct answer

Answer: (e)E.

Both I and II are True

Why this answer is correct

**Given

Statements:

** T = V < U ≥ X; V ≤ S; H > U

On Combining : T = V < U ≥ X; V ≤ S; H > U

Conclusions:

I. S ≥ T → True  (As V ≤ S and T = V → S ≥ T)

II. X < H → True (As H > U and U  ≥  X → X < H )

Therefore Both I and II are True

Conclusions :

I. P > L → True ( As P > M > O > L → thus clear relation P and L can be determined )

II. M > N → False ( As N ≥ P > M → thus we conclude that M is less than N not greater )

Therefore Only I is true.
