How many such symbols are there each of which is immediately preceded by an odd number but NOT immediately followed by an even number?
Show answerHide answer
Correct answer: (C) One
Explanation
Official answer key: (3) One Correct answer should be (4) Three. Symbols immediately preceded by an odd number are * (1 * 8), & (7 & 5), % (3 % 9) and £ (9 £ 3). Only * is followed by an even number, so three symbols (&, %, £) satisfy the condition. Scoring follows the official key.
