Analyzing the Number and Symbol Series

The question requires identifying numbers within a specific series that are immediately preceded by a symbol and immediately followed by a symbol. The given series is: $ % % # > ? > ^ # 6 5 > > 4 9 \ 6 ^ \ /. The counting direction is specified as left to right.

Step-by-Step Analysis

  1. Identify Elements: Distinguish between numbers and symbols in the provided series.

    • Numbers present: $6$, $5$, $4$, $9$, $6$
    • Symbols present: $ % % # > ? > ^ # > > \ ^ /$
  2. Check the Condition (Symbol -> Number -> Symbol): Evaluate each number based on its immediate neighbours.

    • The first $6$ (at index 9) is preceded by $#$ (Symbol) but followed by $5$ (Number). It fails the condition.
    • $5$ (at index 10) is preceded by $6$ (Number). It fails the condition.
    • $4$ (at index 13) is preceded by $>$ (Symbol) but followed by $9$ (Number). It fails the condition.
    • $9$ (at index 14) is preceded by $4$ (Number). It fails the condition.
    • The second $6$ (at index 16) is preceded by $\$ (Symbol) and followed by $^$ (Symbol). This number satisfies the condition.
  3. Final Count: Only one number in the series meets the specified criteria.

Therefore, there is exactly one number that is immediately preceded by a symbol and immediately followed by a symbol.
