Solutions

Solution (1-5):
S1. Ans. (c)
Sol. Given series: Y 7 & * M W 2 @ V 1 N % S L ? + 9 8 A $ C # H J ^ O
Hence, there is one alphabet which is immediately preceded by an even number

S2. Ans. (c)
Sol. Given series: Y 7 & * M W 2 @ V 1 N % S L ? + 9 8 A $ C # H J ^ O
3rd number from left end = 1
2nd number from right end = 9
So, require sum = 9 + 1 = 10

S3. Ans. (b)
Sol. Given series: Y 7 & * M W 2 @ V 1 N % S L ? + 9 8 A $ C # H J ^ O
Hence, there are two vowels (A, O) to the right of L.

S4. Ans. (e)
Sol. Given series: Y 7 & * M W 2 @ V 1 N % S L ? + 9 8 A $ C # H J ^ O
Hence, there is no symbol which is immediately preceded and immediately followed by odd number.

S5. Ans. (d)
Sol. Given series: Y 7 & * M W 2 @ V 1 N % S L ? + 9 8 A $ C # H J ^ O
13th element from the right end = L
So, 7th to the left of L = 2.
