Solutions

Solutions (1-5):
Sol. R (6)>M (5)>Q (2)>N (4)>P (1/3)>O (1/3)

S1. Ans. (a)
S2. Ans. (d)
S3. Ans. (c)
S4. Ans. (b)
S5. Ans. (c)

Solution (11-15):
S11. Ans. (d)
Sol. Given series – Z D I @ Q O 1 B $ L 8 K C 4 G 3 Y X & W 9 # 5 S 2 A % 7 H 6
According to question, there are four symbols that are immediately preceded by an alphabet.

S12. Ans. (d)
Sol. Given series – Z D I @ Q O 1 B $ L 8 K C 4 G 3 Y X & W 9 # 5 S 2 A % 7 H 6
Hence, there are seven numbers that are immediately preceded by an alphabet.

S13. Ans. (b)
Sol. Given series – Z D I @ Q O 1 B $ L 8 K C 4 G 3 Y X & W 9 # 5 S 2 A % 7 H 6
First symbol from right end = %
First symbol from left end = @
Hence, required sum of the numbers between % and @= (1 + 8 + 4 + 3 + 9 + 5 + 2) = 32.

S14. Ans. (e)
Sol. Given series – Z D I @ Q O 1 B $ L 8 K C 4 G 3 Y X & W 9 # 5 S 2 A % 7 H 6
16th element from the left end = 3
9th element to the left of 3 = 1
Hence, 1 is the correct answer.

S15. Ans. (a)
Sol. Given series – Z D I @ Q O 1 B $ L 8 K C 4 G 3 Y X & W 9 # 5 S 2 A % 7 H 6
So, there is one vowel which is immediately followed by a symbol and preceded by consonant.
