Question

Refer to the given letter, number and symbol series and answer the question that follows.
(Left) H 0 L $\Omega$ Y & 4 Z 2 * 3 M & 7 S W # 8 2 p H * L (Right)
If all the numbers are dropped from the series, then which of the following will be seventh from the right?

• A. &
• B. M
• C. W
• D. S

Hint:

Instead of rewriting the whole series, just scan from the right side and count only the non-number characters until you reach the 7th one.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Strategy:

We need to remove all numbers from the series and then identify the 7th element counting from the right end.

Original Series: H 0 L $\Omega$ Y & 4 Z 2 * 3 M & 7 S W \# 8 2 p H * L Step 1: Drop all numbers (0, 4, 2, 3, 7, 8, 2). New Series: H L $\Omega$ Y & Z * M & S W \# p H * L Step 2: Count 7 elements from the right end (start from L). 1. L 2. * 3. H 4. p 5. \# 6. W 7. S The 7th element from the right is S.

The correct option is S.
