Three

Why this answer is correct

Given series:

Left Side % E 6 & F G H 9 a 1 V 8 F β 1 ! A 2 @ B 3 # C 4 $ D 5 € T M 9 W X Z Right Side

Symbols which are immediately preceded by an odd number and followed by an alphabet:

The required order is: Odd number → Symbol → Alphabet

% E 6 & F G H 9 a 1 V 8 F β 1 ! A 2 @ B 3 # C 4 $ D 5 € T M 9 W X Z

Hence, there are 3 symbols which is immediately preceded by an odd number and followed by an alphabet: 1 ! A, 3 # C and 5 € T.

Question 386

Why this answer is correct

Given series:

Left Side % E 6 & F G H 9 a 1 V 8 F β 1 ! A 2 @ B 3 # C 4 $ D 5 € T M 9 W X Z Right Side

  1. If all the alphabets are dropped:

Left Side % 6 & 9 1 8 β 1 ! 2 @ 3 # 4 $ 5 € 9 Right Side

  1. 5thelement from the right end is 4.

Then, element that is fifth from the right end is ‘4’.

Question 387

RBI Assistant 2022• Reasoning Ability

Directions: Study the following arrangement carefully and answer the questions given below:

% E 6 & F G H 9 a 1 V 8 F β 1 ! A 2 @ B 3 # C 4 $ D 5 € T M 9 W X Z$

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

None

Why this answer is correct

Given series:

Left Side % E 6 & F G H 9 a 1 V 8 F β 1 ! A 2 @ B 3 # C 4 $ D 5 € T M 9 W X Z Right Side

Vowels which are immediately followed by a consonant but not immediately preceded by a number:

required order is: Not number → Vowel → Consonant

% E 6 & F G H 9 a 1 V 8 F β 1 ! A 2 @ B 3 # C 4 $ D 5 € T M 9 W X Z

Hence, there is no vowel which is immediately followed by a consonant but not immediately preceded by a number.

Hence, the correct answer is none.

Question 388

RBI Assistant 2022• Reasoning Ability

Directions: Study the following arrangement carefully and answer the questions given below:

% E 6 & F G H 9 a 1 V 8 F β 1 ! A 2 @ B 3 # C 4 $ D 5 € T M 9 W X Z$

Four of following five are alike in a certain way based on their positions in the above arrangement and so form a group. Which is the one that does not belong to that group?

  1. AOption (a)

    E & G

  2. BOption (b)

    2 B #

  3. COption (c)

  4. DOption (d)

    F H a

  5. EOption (e)

    M W Z

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

C 3 @

Why this answer is correct

Given series:

Left Side % E 6 & F G H 9 a 1 V 8 F β 1 ! A 2 @ B 3 # C 4 $ D 5 € T M 9 W X Z Right Side

Here the group is formed in which second element is the second next to the first, and the third element is to the second next of the second element.

Hence, C 3 @ does not belong to the group$.

Question 389

RBI Assistant 2022• Reasoning Ability

Directions: Study the following arrangement carefully and answer the questions given below:

% E 6 & F G H 9 a 1 V 8 F β 1 ! A 2 @ B 3 # C 4 $ D 5 € T M 9 W X Z$

Which of the following is the fifteenth to the right of the twenty - fifth element from the right end of the above arrangement?

  1. AOption (a)

    $$

  2. BOption (b)

    9

  3. COption (c)

    G

  4. DOption (d)

    F

  5. EOption (e)

    1

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

$$

Why this answer is correct

Given series:

Left Side 1 ! A 2 @ B 3 # C 4 $ D 5 % E 6 & F G H 9 a 1 V 8 F € T M 9 W X Z β Right Side

As, Right– Right = Right

25th from the Right – 15th from the Right = 10th from the Right

Clearly, 10th from the Right is $.

Hence, $ is the fifteenth to the right of the twenty - fifth element from the right end of the above arrangement$.
