Question
Consider the following series and the steps applied to it:
Initial series:
Step I: The numbers which are immediately preceded by a symbol and immediately followed by an alphabet are moved to the end of the series in increasing order (placed immediately after L).
Step II: The odd numbers which are immediately preceded by an alphabet swap their positions with the alphabet just before them.
Step III: The alphabets which are immediately followed by a symbol are arranged in alphabetical order between H and 4 of Step II.
Question: How many symbols are immediately preceded by alphabets in Step III?
