(Left) * M © U Q £ Q £ @ © V € H B $ W © I Q # U X (Right)
How many such letter are there, each of which is immediately preceded by a letter and also immediately followed by a symbol?
Understanding the Pattern
The objective is to count the number of letters in the series that satisfy two conditions: they must be immediately preceded by a letter, and immediately followed by a symbol. The counting proceeds from left to right.
Series Analysis
The given series is: M © U Q £ Q £ @ © V € H B $ W © I Q # U X
We will systematically examine each letter in the sequence based on its preceding and succeeding characters.
Step-by-Step Counting
Identify letters meeting the criteria:
- M: Not preceded by a letter.
- U: Preceded by a symbol '©'.
- Q (first instance): Preceded by letter 'U', followed by symbol '£'. Meets criteria. (Count = 1)
- Q (second instance): Preceded by symbol '£'.
- V: Preceded by symbol '©'.
- H: Preceded by symbol '€'.
- B: Preceded by letter 'H', followed by symbol '$'. Meets criteria. (Count = 2)
- W: Preceded by symbol '$'.
- I: Preceded by symbol '©'.
- Q (third instance): Preceded by letter 'I', followed by symbol '#'. Meets criteria. (Count = 3)
- U (second instance): Preceded by symbol '#'.
- X: Followed by the end of the series, not a symbol.
Conclusion
There are exactly 3 letters in the series that are immediately preceded by a letter and immediately followed by a symbol. These are the first 'Q', 'B', and the third 'Q'.
