Direction: Study the following information carefully to answer the qu...
Given Input: 8 $ 7 P 5 I 8 9 A % 2 D & O * 5 D 2 Q U 8 ! E W R 9 # ) 8 P C 1 P 8
Step 1: If the symbol followed by a number, then that number is interchanged with the alphabet according to the alphabetical series.
Required order is: Symbol → Number
Terms satisfying given condition are:
Left End: 8 $ 7 P 5 I 8 9 A % 2 D & O * 5 D 2 Q U 8 ! E W R 9 # ) 8 P C 1 P 8 : Right end
So 7 → G, 2 → B, 5 → E, 8 → H
After changing:
Left end: 8 $ G P 5 I 8 9 A % B D & O * E D 2 Q U 8 ! E W R 9 # )H P C 1 P 8:Right end
Step 2: After completing step 1, we apply step 2, which is,
If vowel is followed by the number and preceded by a consonant, then vowel counted according to the alphabetical series is change to its next third alphabet according to alphabetical series. (ex- if I, is given then its place according to alphabetical series is 9, then its next third letter is 9 + 3 = 12, so 12th alphabet in alphabetical series is L.)
Required order is: Consonant → Vowel → Number
Left end: 8 $ G P 5 I 8 9 A % B D & O * E D 2 Q U 8 ! E W R 9 # ) H P C 1 P 8 : Right end
So, Q U 8 → vowel → U → position of U in alphabetical series → 21
After applying given condition U → 21 + 3 → 24
24th position letter in alphabetical series → X
After changing, series becomes-
Left end: 8 $ G P 5 I 8 9 A % B D & O * E D 2 Q X8 ! E W R 9 # ) H P C 1 P 8 : Right end
Step 3: After completing step 2, we apply step 3, which is-
If two letters are given between any two symbols, then the position of those symbols are interchanged.
Given condition is satisfied in,
Left end: 8 $ G P 5 I 8 9 A % B D & O * E D 2 Q X 8 ! E W R 9 # ) H P C 1 P 8: Right end
So, two letters between any two symbols are-
% B D &
On applying the given step 3-
Required order-
% → &
& → %
After interchanging,
Left end: 8 $ G P 5 I 8 9 A & B D % O * E D 2 Q X8 ! E W R 9 # ) H P C 1 P 8 : Right end
Step 4: After completing step 3, we apply step 4, which is,
Consonant preceded by number is interchanged to its opposite letter according to the alphabetical series in English alphabet.
Required order is: Number → Consonant
Terms which follow the given condition are,
Left end: 8 $ G P 5 I 8 9 A & B D % O * E D 2 Q X 8 ! E W R 9 # ) H P C 1 P 8 : Right end
Consonant preceded by a number-
2Q, 1P
So,
Q → J (Opposite letter)
P → K (Opposite letter)
Final arrangement-
Left end: 8 $ G P 5 I 8 9 A & B D % O * E D 2 J X 8 ! E W R 9 # ) H P C 1 K 8:Right end
First position → 8
Seventh position → 8
Twenty-one position → 8
Thirty-four position → 8
We have to count only odd position’s 8
So,
Total 8’s on odd position = 3
Hence, the correct option is (D).
