Refer to the following number and symbol series and answer the question that follows. Counting to be done from left to right only. (Note: All numbers are single digit numbers only).
(Left) 9 # 8 $ 1 * £ 3 4 7 + Ω 6 2 & % 5 @ (Right)
How many such symbols are there each of which is immediately preceded by another symbol and also immediately followed by another symbol?
Analyzing the Number and Symbol Series
The question requires us to analyze a given series consisting of numbers and symbols. We need to count the number of symbols that satisfy two specific conditions simultaneously:
- The symbol must be immediately preceded by another symbol.
- The symbol must also be immediately followed by another symbol.
The series provided is:
$9 # 8 $ 1 * £ 3 4 7 + Ω 6 2 & % 5 @$
We are instructed to count from left to right only, and all numbers are single digits.
Identifying Elements in the Series
First, let's distinguish between numbers and symbols in the series:
- Numbers: $9$, $8$, $1$, $3$, $4$, $7$, $6$, $2$, $5$
- Symbols: $#$, $, $*$, $£$, $+$, $Ω$, $&$, $%$, $@$
The core task is to find symbols that are part of a sequence like: Symbol A Symbol B Symbol C. In this pattern, we check if Symbol B meets the criteria (preceded by Symbol A and followed by Symbol C).
Evaluating Symbols Based on Conditions
We will now systematically check each symbol in the series to see if it meets both required conditions. The table below outlines the preceding and following element for each symbol and whether the conditions are met.
| Symbol | Element Preceding | Element Following | Preceded by Symbol? | Followed by Symbol? | Meets Both Conditions? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| # | 9 (Number) | 8 (Number) | No | No | No |
| $ | 8 (Number) | 1 (Number) | No | No | No |
| * | 1 (Number) | £ (Symbol) | No | Yes | No |
| £ | * (Symbol) | 3 (Number) | Yes | No | No |
| + | 7 (Number) | Ω (Symbol) | No | Yes | No |
| Ω | + (Symbol) | 6 (Number) | Yes | No | No |
| & | 2 (Number) | % (Symbol) | No | Yes | No |
| % | & (Symbol) | 5 (Number) | Yes | No | No |
| @ | 5 (Number) | (End of Series) | No | No | No |
Conclusion on Symbol Count
After analyzing each symbol based on the conditions (immediately preceded by a symbol AND immediately followed by a symbol), it is clear that none of the symbols in the series fulfill both requirements simultaneously.
Therefore, the total count of such symbols is 0.
