Study the following series carefully and answer the questions given below:

Q 7 D $ T 3 ! M ^ B 8 5 @ H 2 % A 9 * R 6 E S O 1 K & L # U 4 G ? P

Which element is third to the right of the element which is eighth from the left end?

The correct answer is 8.

Step 1: Understand the position of the first element.
We are asked to find the element that is "eighth from the left end" first.
Let's list the given series from left to right and count the positions:

1st: Q
2nd: 7
3rd: D
4th: $
5th: T
6th: 3
7th: !
8th: M

The 8th element from the left end is M.

Step 2: Find the required element relative to the 8th element.
Now, we need to find the element that is "third to the right" of M (the 8th element).

1st to the right of M: ^
2nd to the right of M: B
3rd to the right of M: 8

Alternatively, in a linear series: "3rd to the right of 8th from the left" corresponds to the position:
$8+3=11$

Counting to the 11th element from the left end of the series:
Q(1), 7(2), D(3), $(4), T(5), 3(6), !(7), M(8), ^(9), B(10), 8(11).

Thus, the 11th element from the left end (which is third to the right of the eighth element from the left) is 8.
