Solutions 

S6. Ans. (b)
Sol. Given Series – 1 A B 2 C D 4 ! F G H I J K L M N ^ O 6 E 5 $ & P Q 7 8 % 9 R S T # U * V
Hence, there are only two even numbers (4 and 6) between the element which is 6th from left end and 11th from right end.

S7. Ans. (c)
Sol. Given Series – 1 A B 2 C D 4 ! F G H I J K L M N ^ O 6 E 5 $ & P Q 7 8 % 9 R S T # U * V
After removing all the vowels, we get K is exactly middle element between ! and 6.

S8. Ans. (a)
Sol. Given Series – 1 A B 2 C D 4 ! F G H I J K L M N ^ O 6 E 5 $ & P Q 7 8 % 9 R S T # U * V
After dropping symbols: 1 A B 2 C D 4 F G H I J K L M N O 6 E 5 P Q 7 8 9 R S T U V
So, N is eighth to the right of eighth element from left end.

S9. Ans. (c)
Sol. Given Series – 1 A B 2 C D 4 ! F G H I J K L M N ^ O 6 E 5 $ & P Q 7 8 % 9 R S T # U * V
There are 4 symbols (!, ^, $, &) between 2nd number from left end and 2nd number from right end.

S10. Ans. (b)
Sol. Given Series – 1 A B 2 C D 4 ! F G H I J K L M N ^ O 6 E 5 $ & P Q 7 8 % 9 R S T # U * V
After dropping numbers: A B C D ! F G H I J K L M N ^ O E $ & P Q % R S T # U * V
So, E is second to the left of 19th element from left end.
