Solutions

Solution (1-5):
S1. Ans. (d)
Sol. Given series – 7 @ 8 5 # 4 7 1 % 2 & 8 0 1 2 > 6 7 ? 1 2 ! 5 9 3
Hence, there are four such odd numbers are immediately followed by a symbol.

S2. Ans. (a)
Sol. Given series – 7 @ 8 5 # 4 7 1 % 2 & 8 0 1 2 > 6 7 ? 1 2 ! 5 9 3
Hence, there are five such even numbers are to the left of >.

S3. Ans. (c)
Sol. Given series – 7 @ 8 5 # 4 7 1 % 2 & 8 0 1 2 > 6 7 ? 1 2 ! 5 9 3
Required sum of all the numbers which are immediately preceded by a symbol = (8 + 4 + 2 + 8 + 6 + 1 + 5) = 34.

S4. Ans. (b)
Sol. Given series – 7 @ 8 5 # 4 7 1 % 2 & 8 0 1 2 > 6 7 ? 1 2 ! 5 9 3
10th element from the right end = >
11th element to the left of > = #
Hence, # is the correct answer.

S5. Ans. (c)
Sol. Given series – 7 @ 8 5 # 4 7 1 % 2 & 8 0 1 2 > 6 7 ? 1 2 ! 5 9 3
After dropping symbols – 7 8 5 4 7 1 2 8 0 1 2 6 7 1 2 5 9 3
4th element from the left end = 4
6th element to the right of 4 = 1
Hence, 1 is the correct answer.
