The row below, read from left to right, is made up of letters, numbers and symbols.
$ E * A 3 & I 8 I 7 & U & I 9 @ Z O 7 # 5 3 I M
How many vowels in this row have a symbol directly before them and a number directly after them?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 3
Check every vowel in the row (A, E, I, O, U): the element before it must be a symbol and the element after it must be a number.
Place 2: $ E * — does not count (followed by the symbol *)
Place 4: * A 3 — counts
Place 7: & I 8 — counts
Place 9: 8 I 7 — does not count (preceded by the number 8)
Place 12: & U & — does not count (followed by the symbol &)
Place 14: & I 9 — counts
Place 18: Z O 7 — does not count (preceded by the consonant Z)
Place 23: 3 I M — does not count (preceded by the number 3)
So the answer is 3.
