Solutions
Solutions (1-5):
S1. Ans. (c)
Sol. After dropping symbols: E 7 S 4 6 T C 9 M N 1 D F 5 L Q X 8.
So, N will be second to the right of eighth element from left end. Hence, option (c) is correct answer.
S2. Ans. (c)
Sol. There are three symbols between 2nd number from left end and 2nd number from right end.
S3. Ans. (a)
Sol. After dropping numbers: E & S T # @ C M N ! D F L Q $ X
So, ! will be second to the left of twelfth element from left end. Hence, option (a) is correct answer.
S4. Ans. (c)
Sol. Given Series – E 7 & S 4 6 T # @ C 9 M N 1 ! D F 5 L Q $ X 8
So, there are two consonants T and Q.
S5. Ans. (a)
Sol. Given Series – E 7 & S 4 6 T # @ C 9 M N 1 ! D F 5 L Q $ X 8
So, there is no consonant.
