Directions: Study the following informnation carefully to answer the given questions: F © 4 A 6 P $ G L 1 ( & 2 B @ V M # 3 + 8 Z !
How many such alphabets are there in the above arrangement which is immediately preceded by the number and immediately followed by the symbol?
Three
Analyzing the Character Arrangement Pattern
We are given the following sequence of characters:
F © 4 A 6 P $ G L 1 ( & 2 B @ V M # 3 + 8 Z !
The question requires us to identify the number of alphabets within this sequence that meet specific positional criteria. The criteria are that each identified alphabet must be immediately preceded by a number and immediately followed by a symbol.
In simpler terms, we are looking for the pattern: [Number] [Alphabet] [Symbol].
Step-by-Step Pattern Identification
Let's examine the sequence part by part to find characters matching this pattern:
- F: Not preceded by a number.
- A: Preceded by 4 (Number), but followed by 6 (Number). Does not meet the criteria.
- P: Preceded by 6 (Number) and followed by $ (Symbol). This matches the criteria.
- G: Preceded by $ (Symbol). Does not meet the criteria.
- L: Preceded by G (Alphabet). Does not meet the criteria.
- B: Preceded by 2 (Number) and followed by @ (Symbol). This matches the criteria.
- V: Preceded by @ (Symbol). Does not meet the criteria.
- M: Preceded by V (Alphabet). Does not meet the criteria.
- Z: Preceded by 8 (Number) and followed by ! (Symbol). This matches the criteria.
We can summarize this analysis in a table format for clarity:
| Character | Preceding Char | Following Char | Is Alphabet? | Preceded by Number? | Followed by Symbol? | Matches Criteria? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| F | - | © | Yes | No | Yes | No |
| A | 4 | 6 | Yes | Yes | No | No |
| P | 6 | $ | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| G | $ | L | Yes | No | No | No |
| L | G | 1 | Yes | No | No | No |
| B | 2 | @ | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| V | @ | M | Yes | No | No | No |
| M | V | # | Yes | No | Yes | No |
| Z | 8 | ! | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Counting the Qualifying Alphabets
From the step-by-step analysis, we found three alphabets that satisfy the given conditions:
- The alphabet P, which is preceded by the number 6 and followed by the symbol $.
- The alphabet B, which is preceded by the number 2 and followed by the symbol @.
- The alphabet Z, which is preceded by the number 8 and followed by the symbol !.
Counting these instances, we find there are exactly three such alphabets in the arrangement.
Final Conclusion on the Count
The total count of alphabets immediately preceded by a number and immediately followed by a symbol is three. This aligns with the option stating 'Three'.
