The row below, read from left to right, is made up of letters, numbers and symbols.
N 0 P G E 5 U * # R & @ # 0 8 N $ * 4 # 5 B
How many numbers in this row have a consonant directly after them?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → 3
Check every number in the row: the element after it must be a consonant. A consonant is any letter other than A, E, I, O and U.
Place 2: N 0 P — counts
Place 6: E 5 U — does not count (followed by the vowel U)
Place 14: # 0 8 — does not count (followed by the number 8)
Place 15: 0 8 N — counts
Place 19: * 4 # — does not count (followed by the symbol #)
Place 21: # 5 B — counts
So the answer is 3.
