Refer to the following letter, number, symbol series and answer the question. (Left) D 2 R X 5 8 T & 9 3 H 8 C % K T A # 3 T 5 4 S % 9 & R % 5 (Right) If all the letters are dropped from the series, which of the following will be in the middle of the series formed?

Correct option is D

Given - (Left) D 2 R X 5 8 T & 9 3 H 8 C % K T A # 3 T 5 4 S % 9 & R % 5 (Right)

1. Step 1: Remove all letters
   Removing all the letters (D, R, X, T, H, C, K, T, A, T, S, R) leaves the following series:
   2 5 8 & 9 3 8 % # 3 5 4 % 9 & % 5

2. Step 2: Count total elements left
   After removing the letters, we are left with 17 elements.

3. Step 3: Find the middle position
   For an odd number of elements, the middle position is given by:

   $$​\text{Middle Position} = \frac{\text{Total Number of elements + 1}}{2}$$ th

   middle number =  $$\text{Middle Position} = \frac{\text{17 + 1}}{2}$$ = 9th

   9th element = #

   so final answer will be #.
