Directions: Study the following information carefully to answer the q...
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.
The 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 the vowel is followed by the number and preceded by a consonant, then the vowel counted according to the alphabetical series is change to its next third alphabet according to the 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.)
The 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 the given condition U → 21 + 3 → 24
24th position letter in alphabetical series → X
After changing, series becomesL
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 is 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 the English alphabet.
The 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)
After applying step 1-
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
Symbols preceded by a number = 8$, 8!, 9#
So, three is the answer.
