The row below, read from left to right, is made up of letters, numbers and symbols.
4 @ B 6 @ E % % 3 3 $ I $ 2 P S R E A E & B H 0
How many symbols in this row have a number directly before them and a letter directly after them?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → 3
Check every symbol in the row: the element before it must be a number and the element after it must be a letter.
Place 2: 4 @ B — counts
Place 5: 6 @ E — counts
Place 7: E % % — does not count (preceded by the vowel E)
Place 8: % % 3 — does not count (preceded by the symbol %)
Place 11: 3 $ I — counts
Place 13: I $ 2 — does not count (preceded by the vowel I)
Place 21: E & B — does not count (preceded by the vowel E)
So the answer is 3.
