This question was previously asked in
ESIC UDC Mains MBT (30 Apr 2022)
The correct answer is

Fifteen

This question requires careful analysis of a given sequence of elements, which includes letters, numbers, and symbols. We need to determine the number of elements situated strictly between two specific elements identified by their positions from opposite ends of the sequence.

Sequence Analysis: Sixth Element from Left

First, let's identify the sequence provided:

C 2 $ E F % 8 P Z @ # 1 T N + 9 Y 4 H V S * 7 J X 3 K Q M !

We need to find the element that is sixth from the left end. Counting from the left:

  • 1st: C
  • 2nd: 2
  • 3rd: $
  • 4th: E
  • 5th: F
  • 6th: %

The sixth element from the left end is '%'.

Sequence Analysis: Ninth Element from Right

Next, we find the element that is ninth from the right end. Counting from the right:

  • 1st: !
  • 2nd: M
  • 3rd: Q
  • 4th: K
  • 5th: 3
  • 6th: X
  • 7th: J
  • 8th: 7
  • 9th: *

The ninth element from the right end is '*'.

Counting Intermediate Elements

Now, we need to count the number of elements that lie strictly between '%' (the 6th from the left) and '*' (the 9th from the right).

The portion of the sequence between '%' and '*' is:

8 P Z @ # 1 T N + 9 Y 4 H V S

Let's count these elements:

  1. 8
  2. P
  3. Z
  4. @
  5. #
  6. 1
  7. T
  8. N
  9. +
  10. 9
  11. Y
  12. 4
  13. H
  14. V
  15. S

The total count of these intermediate elements is 15.

Therefore, there are 15 elements between the sixth element from the left end and the ninth element from the right end.
