Refer to the following number and symbol series and answer the question that follows. Counting to be done from left to right only.

(Left) @ * $ 3 8 9 % + 7 > 6 # < % % ? 6 2 $ / 6 (Right)

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

The correct answer is

Two

To solve the problem, we need to count numbers in the given series that are immediately preceded and followed by a symbol. The series given is:

(Left) @ * $ 3 8 9 % + 7 > 6 # < % % ? 6 2 $ / 6 (Right)

First, break down the sequence to identify numbers paired with symbols on both sides:

  • 3: Preceded by $ and followed by 8 (not a symbol).
  • 8: Preceded by 3 (not a symbol) and followed by 9 (not a symbol).
  • 9: Preceded by 8 (not a symbol) and followed by % (symbol).
  • 7: Preceded by + (symbol) and followed by > (symbol).
  • 6: Preceded by > (symbol) and followed by # (symbol).
  • Other numbers are not sandwiched between symbols.

From this, numbers 7 and 6 meet the criteria of being preceded and followed by symbols. Hence, there are Two such numbers.
