The correct answer is

Three

Scanning the 24-letter series left to right, checking each consonant for a preceding vowel and a following consonant.

Position 8 (Q): preceded by E (vowel), followed by Y (consonant) — qualifies.

Position 13 (Y): preceded by U (vowel), followed by G (consonant) — qualifies.

Position 20 (J): preceded by A (vowel), followed by L (consonant) — qualifies.

No other consonant in the series satisfies both conditions.

Hence, three such consonants are found in the series.
