Refer to the following letter series and answer the question. (Counting to be done from left to right only.) (Left) R U U K G S R E W Y P U K Q S T E Q Q U S V (Right) How many such consonants are there, each of which is immediately preceded by a vowel and also immediately followed by a vowel?

We need to find the pattern: [Vowel] → [Consonant] → [Vowel] Vowels in the series: A, E, I, O, U Consonants in the series: All other letters (R, K, G, S, W, Y, P, Q, T, V) Let's check every consonant preceded by a vowel in the series: U – K – G → Preceded by vowel (U), but followed by consonant (G) E – W – Y → Preceded by vowel (E), but followed by consonant (Y) U – K – Q → Preceded by vowel (U), but followed by consonant (Q) E – Q – Q → Preceded by vowel (E), but followed by consonant (Q) U – S – V →   Preceded by vowel (U), but followed by consonant (V) None of the consonants are both preceded by a vowel and followed by a vowel.
