Solutions

Solution (11-15):
S11. Ans. (b)
Sol. Given Series – T Q E 7 T % G 8 F 6 # H I $ 4 G K * 3 1 0 M 5 B @ 2 1 C X & Y
There are two such consonants = Q and H.

S12. Ans. (e)
Sol. Given Series – T Q E 7 T % G 8 F 6 # H I $ 4 G K * 3 1 0 M 5 B @ 2 1 C X & Y
There are four such consonants = T, K, B and X.

S13. Ans. (c)
Sol. Given Series – T Q E 7 T % G 8 F 6 # H I $ 4 G K * 3 1 0 M 5 B @ 2 1 C X & Y
18th element from the left end – *; 6th to the left of * – H

S14. Ans. (a)
Sol. Given Series – T Q E 7 T % G 8 F 6 # H I $ 4 G K * 3 1 0 M 5 B @ 2 1 C X & Y
There is one vowel – E.

S15. Ans. (c)
Sol. Given Series – T Q E 7 T % G 8 F 6 # H I $ 4 G K * 3 1 0 M 5 B @ 2 1 C X & Y
Tenth element from the left end – 6; Fourteenth element from the right end -*
