Direction: Study the following information carefully to answer the given questions: C 2 $ E F % 8 P Z @ # 1 T N + 9 Y 4 H V S * 7 J X 3 K Q M !
How many numbers are there in the given arrangement which are preceded by a symbol?
More than 3
This question requires us to analyze a given sequence of characters and count how many numbers within that sequence are immediately preceded by a symbol.
Arrangement Analysis
The provided arrangement of characters is:
C 2 $ E F % 8 P Z @ # 1 T N + 9 Y 4 H V S * 7 J X 3 K Q M !
Identifying Numbers Preceded by Symbols
To solve this, we need to identify two types of characters:
- Numbers: These are the digits from 0 to 9.
- Symbols: These are characters other than letters and numbers, such as $, %, @, #, +, *, ! etc.
We will scan the arrangement from left to right and check each number to see if the character immediately before it is a symbol.
Step-by-Step Examination
Let's examine each relevant part of the arrangement:
Cis a letter.2is a number, preceded by a space (not a symbol).$is a symbol.Eis a letter.Fis a letter.%is a symbol.8is a number. It is preceded by%, which is a symbol. This counts as one instance.Pis a letter.Zis a letter.@is a symbol.#is a symbol.1is a number. It is preceded by#, which is a symbol. This counts as another instance.Tis a letter.Nis a letter.+is a symbol.9is a number. It is preceded by+, which is a symbol. This counts as a third instance.Yis a letter.4is a number, preceded byY(a letter, not a symbol).His a letter.Vis a letter.Sis a letter.*is a symbol.7is a number. It is preceded by*, which is a symbol. This counts as a fourth instance.Jis a letter.Xis a letter.3is a number, preceded byX(a letter, not a symbol).Kis a letter.Qis a letter.Mis a letter.!is a symbol.
For a clearer view, here is a table summarizing the findings for numbers:
| Number Found | Character Preceding It | Is Preceding Character a Symbol? | Counted? |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | Space | No | No |
| 8 | % | Yes | Yes |
| 1 | # | Yes | Yes |
| 9 | + | Yes | Yes |
| 4 | Y | No | No |
| 7 | * | Yes | Yes |
| 3 | X | No | No |
Counting Numbers Preceded by Symbols
By reviewing the analysis, we identified the following numbers that are preceded by a symbol:
- The number
8is preceded by the symbol%. - The number
1is preceded by the symbol#. - The number
9is preceded by the symbol+. - The number
7is preceded by the symbol*.
Therefore, there are a total of 4 numbers in the given arrangement that are preceded by a symbol.
Conclusion and Option Verification
We have determined that there are 4 numbers preceded by a symbol. Let's compare this count with the given options:
- Three
- Two
- Five
- More than 3
- one
Since our count is 4, which is greater than 3, the option "More than 3" is the correct choice.
