Arrangement Analysis: Finding the Fifth Symbol from the Right

This question requires us to analyze a given character sequence and pinpoint a specific element based on its position after applying a removal rule. We need to find the character that is the fifth symbol from the right end.

Arrangement Elements and Dropping Rule

The sequence provided is:

F © 4 A 6 P $ G L 1 ( & 2 B @ V M # 3 + 8 Z !

The core instruction is to remove all numbers. However, the question asks specifically for the fifth symbol. This implies we should filter the sequence to retain only non-alphanumeric symbols, thus removing letters as well, to find the correct "symbol".

Symbol Filtering Process

Let's identify the categories of characters in the sequence:

  • Numbers: 4, 6, 1, 2, 3, 8
  • Letters: F, A, P, G, L, B, V, M, Z
  • Symbols: ©, $, (, &, @, #, +, !

Following the interpretation that we need to find a "symbol", we filter out both numbers and letters:

Remaining Symbols: © $ ( & @ # + !

Counting from the Right: Identifying the Fifth Symbol

Now, we count from the right end of the filtered symbol sequence (© $ ( & @ # + !).

Counting positionally from the right:

  • 1st from right: !
  • 2nd from right: +
  • 3rd from right: #
  • 4th from right: @
  • 5th from right: &

The result of this count is the symbol &.

Fifth Symbol from Right Identified

After removing all numbers and letters (based on the requirement to find a "symbol"), the fifth symbol counted from the right end of the remaining sequence is &.
