% B ^ C 0 E $ G # K 2 M @ Q * S 4 W & ! U 6 O ? I + A 8

We have:

% ^ $ # @ * & ! ? +

Step I: Consider the first five even numbers, subtract ‘1’ from each of these numbers and write all the numbers one by one after every second special character from left to right in the same order.

For Example:-2-1=1; 4-1=3, 6-1=5, 8-1=7, 10-1=9

Thus we have the following result:

% ^ 1 $ # 3 @ * 5& !7 ? + 9

Step II: Pick out the letters from the English alphabetical series which have their place value as the prime number, and write all such letters in alphabetical series from left to right after every first element in the series thus formed after step I.

Then, we have the letters:-B, C, E, G, K, M, Q, S, W

Thus, we have the following result:

% B^C 1E $G # K3M @Q * S5 W& !7 ? + 9

The vowels from the English alphabetical series are:-A, I, O & U.

Thus, we have the following result:

% B ^ C 1 E $ G # K 3 M @ Q * S 5 W & ! U 7O ?I + A 9

Step IV: All the numbers are decreased by one in the series thus formed after step III.

Directions (18-20) :

We have:

Step I: Consider the first four prime numbers, to that add ‘2’ and subtract ‘1’ alternatively and write all the numbers after every third special character from left to right in the same order.

For Example:- 2 + 2 = 4; 3 – 1 = 2; 5 + 2 = 7; 7 – 1 = 6.

Thus we have the following result:

Step II: Pick out the letters which have its corresponding place value is multiple of ‘4’ in English alphabetical series, and write all such letters in reverse alphabetical series from left to right after every second element in the series thus formed after step I.

Then, we have the letters:- D, H, L, P, T & X

Thus, we have the following result:

Step III: Pick out the vowels from the English alphabetical series, and write all such letters in alphabetical order from left to right after every fourth, seventh, twelfth and nineteenth element in the series thus formed after step II.

The vowels from the English alphabetical series are:-A, E, I, O & U.

Thus, we have the following result:

Step IV: Reverse the order of every four elements in the series thus formed in step III, after retaining every six elements from the left end in the same order.
