Why this answer is correct

Given Series:

Left side   R € 3 W 8 C $ D © K 2 ® 7 T F 5 U £ Z 1 % 6 A @ X 4 Q H &   Right side

If all the symbols and alphabets are removed then the new series will be:

3 8 2 7 5 1 6 4

So, the third digit from the left end = 2

and, the seventh digit from the left end = 6

Now, the average between two numbers is defined as half of the sum of the given two numbers.

Therefore, average of third and seventh digit from the left end i.e. 2 and 6 = (2 + 6)/2 = 8/2 = 4.

Hence, 4 is the correct answer$.
