(Left) #1 * £ 3 & @ $ 8 $ 7 + 5 4 2 0 2 9 % (Right)

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

The correct answer is

2

To solve the problem, we need to examine the given series:

(Left) #1 * £ 3 & @ $ 8 $ 7 + 5 4 2 0 2 9 % (Right)

We are looking for symbols that are immediately preceded by a number and immediately followed by another symbol. Let's break it down:

  • #1 *: The '*' is preceded by '1' (a number) and followed by '£' (a symbol).
  • 1 * £ 3 & @: The '3' is followed by '&' (a symbol), but is immediately preceded by '£' (a symbol), so '&' doesn't meet the condition.
  • 3 & @ $: The '&' is preceded by '3' (a number) and followed by '@' (a symbol).
  • @ $ 8 $: '@' is preceded by '&' (not a number), so '$' following it doesn't meet the condition.
  • 8 $: Preceded by '8' (a number) but followed by '7' (not a symbol).
  • 7 +: Preceded by '7' (a number) and followed by '5' (not a symbol).
  • 9 %: The '%' is preceded by '9' (a number) and is the end of the series.

The symbols are '*' and '&'. Therefore, there are 2 such symbols. Hence, the correct answer is 2.
