Analyzing the Series: Finding the Fifth Element

The question asks us to analyze a given series of letters, numbers, and symbols. We need to perform two main tasks:

1. Remove all the numerical digits from the series.
2. Identify the fifth element from the left in the resulting series.

Step 1: Understanding the Original Series

The provided series is:

$(Left) C H * * 8 5 9 * 4 9 1 6 5 L # 5 6 5 £ * K B (Right)$

Let's list the elements in order:

C, H, *, *, 8, 5, 9, *, 4, 9, 1, 6, 5, L, #, 5, 6, 5, £, *, K, B

Step 2: Removing All Numbers

We need to identify and remove only the numerical digits from the series. The numbers in the series are: 8, 5, 9, 4, 9, 1, 6, 5, 5, 6, 5.

Removing these numbers leaves us with the following series composed only of letters and symbols:

C, H, *, *, *, *, L, #, £, *, K, B

The modified series is:

$C H * * * * L # £ * K B$

Step 3: Identifying the Fifth Element from the Left

Now, we count the elements in the modified series starting from the left to find the fifth one:

• 1st element: $C$
• 2nd element: $H$
• 3rd element: $*$
• 4th element: $*$
• 5th element: $*$

Therefore, the fifth element from the left in the series after dropping all numbers is the asterisk symbol ($*$).

Conclusion

By systematically removing the numbers and then counting the positions in the remaining sequence of letters and symbols, we find that the fifth element from the left is $*$.
