      Question

      Directions: Study the following arrangement carefully

      and answer the question given below. A 7 G 4 M 9 R 2 T 6 K 8 P 3 D 5 H 1 L First, subtract 2 from the digits which are immediately preceded by a consonant and immediately followed by a consonant. Then, add 1 to the remaining digits. After performing the operation, remove all repeated digits. Now find the sum of all odd digits obtained.
      A 15 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 17 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 19 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Given arrangement: A 7 G 4 M 9 R 2 T 6 K 8 P 3 D 5 H 1 L Digits are:
      7, 4, 9, 2, 6, 8, 3, 5, 1 Now check digits which are immediately preceded and followed by consonants. 4 is between G and M β†’ subtract 2 β†’ 2
      9 is between M and R β†’ subtract 2 β†’ 7
      2 is between R and T β†’ subtract 2 β†’ 0
      6 is between T and K β†’ subtract 2 β†’ 4
      8 is between K and P β†’ subtract 2 β†’ 6
      3 is between P and D β†’ subtract 2 β†’ 1
      5 is between D and H β†’ subtract 2 β†’ 3
      1 is between H and L β†’ subtract 2 β†’ -1 7 is preceded by A and followed by G, so it does not satisfy the condition because A is a vowel.
      So, add 1 to 7 β†’ 8 Final digits: 8, 2, 7, 0, 4, 6, 1, 3, -1 Remove repeated digits: no repeated digit is present. Odd digits are: 7, 1, 3, -1 Sum = 7 + 1 + 3 - 1 = 10
