Refer to the following letter, symbol series and answer the question. Counting to be done from left to right only

(Left) B R © # # # W & S @ Z @ @ A & L @ @ I © O © (Right)

How many such letters are there each of which is immediately preceded by a letter and also immediately followed by a symbol?

The correct answer is
1

Analyzing the Letter Symbol Series

The task is to find the number of letters in the given series that satisfy two conditions simultaneously: being immediately preceded by another letter and immediately followed by a symbol. We will examine the series B R © # # # W & S @ Z @ @ A & L @ @ I © O © from left to right.

Identifying Qualifying Letters

Let's break down the series and check each letter:

  • B: Preceded by nothing (start), followed by R (letter). Does not meet the criteria.
  • R: Preceded by B (letter), followed by © (symbol). Meets both criteria.
  • W: Preceded by # (symbol). Does not meet the criteria.
  • S: Preceded by & (symbol). Does not meet the criteria.
  • Z: Preceded by @ (symbol). Does not meet the criteria.
  • A: Preceded by @ (symbol). Does not meet the criteria.
  • L: Preceded by & (symbol). Does not meet the criteria.
  • I: Preceded by @ (symbol). Does not meet the criteria.
  • O: Preceded by © (symbol). Does not meet the criteria.

Symbols like ©, #, &, @ are ignored as they are not letters.

Counting the Letters

Only one letter, 'R', fits the conditions of being immediately preceded by a letter and immediately followed by a symbol.

Therefore, the total count is 1.
