Refer to the following number and symbol series and answer the question that follows.
Counting to be done from left to right only.
(Left) ? > @ ^ @ \ ? + $ 6 7 \ 1 & @ 1 4 2 2 % 9 (Right)
How many such numbers are there, each of which is immediately preceded by a symbol and also immediately followed by another number?
Correct Answer :
Two
Solution :
` HTML/MathML formatting. - Separate paragraphs with `
...
` - Standard raw unicode characters like `-`, `+`, `=`, `⇒` directly, no HTML entities like `−` or `−`. - No `display="block"`. - Clean answer value: `Two` Let's compose the output.The correct option is Two.
To find the total number of such numbers, we need to look for a pattern in the given series that satisfies the following rule:
Symbol ⇒ Number ⇒ Number
Let's analyze the given series from left to right:
(Left) ? > @ ^ @ \ ? + $ 6 7 \ 1 & @ 1 4 2 2 % 9 (Right)
Now, let's identify all the numbers that are immediately preceded by a symbol and immediately followed by another number:
1. In the sequence $ 6 7, the number 6 is immediately preceded by the symbol ($) and immediately followed by the number (7).
2. In the sequence @ 1 4, the number 1 is immediately preceded by the symbol (@) and immediately followed by the number (4).
No other numbers in the series satisfy both conditions simultaneously.
Therefore, there are exactly two such numbers (6 and 1).
