Question

How many such consonants are there in the following sequence, each of which is immediately preceded by a vowel and immediately followed by a number? \text{PQ2ED2SA925EAGSEF629}

• A. 0
• B. 1
• C. 2
• D. 4

Hint:

In sequence problems, identify patterns by checking each letter’s position relative to vowels and numbers to see if they meet the given condition.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

We are given the sequence PQ2ED2SA925EAGSEF629. We need to find how many consonants are immediately preceded by a vowel and immediately followed by a number. 1. PQ2:
P is preceded by Q (not a vowel) and followed by 2 (invalid consonant condition).
2. ED2:
D is preceded by E (vowel) and followed by 2 (valid consonant condition).
3. SA9:
S is preceded by A (vowel) and followed by 9 (valid consonant condition).
4. EAG:
G is preceded by A (vowel) and followed by 6 (valid consonant condition).
5. SEF:
F is preceded by E (vowel) and followed by 6 (valid consonant condition).
The valid consonants are: D, S, G, F.
Thus, there are 4 consonants that satisfy the condition.
