Read the following alphanumeric-symbol series carefully and answer the question: 0 4 # W U 2 @ 7 R 3 I G % J H 9 B & 5 8 + V N M Ω 6 ¥ 1 How many symbols are just preceded by a number?

Five
Four
Three
One

Correct answer: Four

Solution

We need to count only symbols that are immediately preceded by a number. In the series, the symbols after 4, 2, 3, 9, and 8 are #, @, %, &, and + respectively, but only those directly following a number are counted as symbols preceded by a number. The total comes to four.
