Question

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

(Left) F & I Y @ J Y C * A # & K S P $ B M (Right)

How many such symbols are there each of which are immediately preceded by a vowel and also immediately followed by a symbol?

This question was previously asked in
RRB Technician 2026 Grade 3 Question Paper (7-Oct-2026) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

One

The vowels are A, E, I, O and U. Number the series from the left: 1 F, 2 &, 3 I, 4 Y, 5 @, 6 J, 7 Y, 8 C, 9 *, 10 A, 11 #, 12 &, 13 K, 14 S, 15 P, 16 $, 17 B, 18 M.

The symbols stand at places 2, 5, 9, 11, 12 and 16. For each, check the element just before it (must be a vowel) and the element just after it (must be a symbol).

Symbol (place)Preceded byFollowed byQualifies?
& (2)F – consonantI – vowelNo
@ (5)Y – consonantJ – consonantNo
* (9)C – consonantA – vowelNo
# (11)A – vowel& – symbolYes
& (12)# – symbolK – consonantNo
$ (16)P – consonantB – consonantNo

Therefore only the symbol # in the group A # & satisfies both conditions, so the count is 1.

Check: the only vowels in the series are I (place 3) and A (place 10); after I comes the letter Y, and after A comes the symbol #, which is followed by the symbol & – so exactly 1 symbol qualifies.

Hence, One.
