The row below, read from left to right, is made up of letters, numbers and symbols.
R 4 % B 7 K @ 2 # E 9 L 5 $ T 3 Q & 8 M 6 * D W 1 H
How many numbers in this row have a symbol directly after them?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → 4
Check each number with the element just after it: the element after it must be a symbol.
Place 2: R 4 % — counts
Place 5: B 7 K — does not count (followed by the consonant K)
Place 8: @ 2 # — counts
Place 11: E 9 L — does not count (followed by the consonant L)
Place 13: L 5 $ — counts
Place 16: T 3 Q — does not count (followed by the consonant Q)
Place 19: & 8 M — does not count (followed by the consonant M)
Place 21: M 6 * — counts
Place 25: W 1 H — does not count (followed by the consonant H)
So the answer is 4.
