Refer to the following series and

Step 1: Write the series clearly

Series (from left to right):

9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 3, 9, 8, 7, 6

Even numbers in this series: 8, 6, 4, 2, 8, 6

Step 2: Check the condition

We need even numbers that are immediately preceded and followed by odd numbers:

1. 8 (2nd position) → preceded by 9 (odd ✅), followed by 7 (odd ✅) → counts

2. 6 (4th position) → preceded by 7 (odd ✅), followed by 5 (odd ✅) → counts

3. 4 (6th position) → preceded by 5 (odd ✅), followed by 3 (odd ✅) → counts

4. 2 (8th position) → preceded by 3 (odd ✅), followed by 1 (odd ✅) → counts

5. 8 (12th position) → preceded by 9 (odd ✅), followed by 7 (odd ✅) → counts

6. 6 (14th position) → preceded by 7 (odd ✅), but no number after it (❌) → does not count

Step 3: Count

Numbers that satisfy the condition: 8, 6, 4, 2, 8 → 5 numbers

Step 4: Match with given options

Options:

• One

• Two

• Three

• More than three ✅
