Attempted by 6 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Correct Option: Option 4 — "Cannot be determined"
Solution
Series:
A 2 Z % @ 7 # 5 Y 3 4 % I O C 9 6 E 8 $ W 1 $ J #
Total elements = 25
Step 1: Find the 3rd element from the left
A
2
Z
So, the 3rd element from the left is Z.
Step 2: Find the 8th element from the right
Counting from the right:
J
$
1
W
$
8
E
So, the 8th element from the right is E.
Step 3: Locate both positions
Z is at position 3 from the left.
E is at position 18 from the left.
Elements from Z to E:
Z, %, @, 7, #, 5, Y, 3, 4, %, I, O, C, 9, 6, E
There are 16 elements in this segment.
Since 16 is an even number, there is no single middle element. The two central elements are:
8th element = 3
9th element = 4
Therefore, a unique mid-way element cannot be determined.
