Directions (96-100): Study the given series of numbers, symbols and alphabets and answer the questions based on it.

2 F T % 4 Y 8 $ B 9 P M 6 # 7 V A Ω 5 I E ∞ J 9 I β 6 N 4 ϕ L K 3 µ

How many such consonants are there in the given series each of which is immediately preceded by a number and immediately followed by a letter?

To find the number of consonants that satisfy the given condition, let us first understand the required pattern:
Pattern: Number → Consonant → Letter

Note: A letter can be either a consonant or a vowel (A, E, I, O, U).

Let us write down the given series:
2 F T % 4 Y 8 $ B 9 P M 6 # 7 V A Ω 5 I E ∞ J 9 I β 6 N 4 ϕ L K 3 µ

Now, let us analyze each consonant in the series to see if it fits the pattern:

1. F: Preceded by 2 (Number), followed by T (Letter). Since F is a consonant, let us check: Number (2) → Consonant (F) → Letter (T). This matches the pattern! (Pattern 1: 2FT)

2. T: Preceded by F (Letter), so it does not match (needs to be preceded by a number).

3. Y: Preceded by 4 (Number), followed by 8 (Number, not a letter).

4. B: Preceded by $ (Symbol, not a number).

5. P: Preceded by 9 (Number), followed by M (Letter). Since P is a consonant, let us check: Number (9) → Consonant (P) → Letter (M). This matches the pattern! (Pattern 2: 9PM)

6. M: Preceded by P (Letter), so it does not match.

7. V: Preceded by 7 (Number), followed by A (Letter). Since V is a consonant, let us check: Number (7) → Consonant (V) → Letter (A). This matches the pattern! (Pattern 3: 7VA)

8. J: Preceded by ∞ (Symbol, not a number).

9. N: Preceded by 6 (Number), followed by 4 (Number, not a letter).

10. L: Preceded by φ (Symbol, not a number).

11. K: Preceded by L (Letter), so it does not match.

Thus, there are exactly three such consonants in the series that satisfy the given conditions: F, P, and V.
Therefore, the correct option is Three.
