The correct answer is

G

Understanding the Sequence and Positions

The given sequence of elements is: F © 4 A 6 P $ G L 1 ( & 2 B @ V M # 3 + 8 Z !

First, let's count the total number of elements in the sequence. There are 23 elements in total.

Identifying the Reference Element

The question asks us to find an element relative to the "fourth element from the right end". Let's identify this element:

  • Counting from the right end: !, Z, 8, +.
  • The fourth element from the right end is +.

Finding the Target Element

Next, we need to find the element that is "twelfth to the left" of the identified element (+).

We can count 12 positions to the left of + in the sequence:

Sequence: F © 4 A 6 P $ G L 1 ( & 2 B @ V M # 3 + 8 Z !

Counting leftwards from +:

  1. 12th left: 3
  2. 11th left: #
  3. 10th left: M
  4. 9th left: V
  5. 8th left: @
  6. 7th left: B
  7. 6th left: 2
  8. 5th left: &
  9. 4th left: (
  10. 3rd left: 1
  11. 2nd left: L
  12. 1st left: G

The element that is twelfth to the left of + is G.

Alternative Method: Using Indices

We can also solve this using positional indices from the left.

Total elements = 23.

The fourth element from the right end corresponds to the element at position:

Position from left = Total elements - Position from right + 1

Position from left = $23 - 4 + 1 = 20$. So, the 20th element is our reference.

We need the element that is 12 positions to the left of the 20th element.

Target position from left = Reference position - 12

Target position from left = $20 - 12 = 8$.

Now, let's find the 8th element from the left in the sequence:

F (1st), © (2nd), 4 (3rd), A (4th), 6 (5th), P (6th), $ (7th), G (8th).

The 8th element from the left is G.

Conclusion

Both methods confirm that the element twelfth to the left of the fourth element from the right end is G.

Comparing this result with the given options, Option 3 matches our finding.
