4

Why this answer is correct

Given Series:

Left Side Z @ 9 4 M R $ P 7 # Y G 5 K 3 & C B 4 D V E 1 ? 6 % L Right Side

  • Condition 1: Seventh to the left of,
  • Condition 2: Seventeenth element from the right end.

Starting from the second condition, the

seventeenth element from the right end is Y.

Then, the seventh element to the left of Y is 4.

Hence, 4 is the correct answer.

  1. Whenever in such questions, a combination of opposite ends is asked; firstly add the positions mentioned- like here, 7th to the left and 17th from the right, so 17 + 7 = 24.
  2. Then, count from the end mentioned in the second condition i.e. on counting from the right end here, ‘4’ is at the 24th position.

          Therefore, 4 is the correct answer$.

Answer: (e)E.

K

Why this answer is correct

Given Series:

Left Side Z @ 9 4 M R $ P 7 # Y G 5 K 3 & C B 4 D V E 1 ? 6 % L Right Side

  • Condition 1: Eleventh to the left of,
  • Condition 2: Twenty-fifth element from the left end.

Starting from the second condition, the twenty-fifth element from the left end is 6.

Then, the eleventh element to the left of 6 is K.

Hence, K is the correct answer.

  1. Whenever in such questions, a combination of same ends is asked; firstly subtract the positions mentioned- like here, 11th to the left and 25th from the left, so 25 - 11 = 14.
  2. Then, count from the end mentioned in the second condition i.e. on counting from the left end here, ‘K’ is at the 14th position.

         

Hence, K is the correct answer$.
