How many 7s immediately preceded by 6 but not immediately followed by 4 are there in following series

7, 4, 2, 7, 6, 4, 3, 6, 7, 5, 3, 5, 7, 8, 4, 3, 7, 6, 7, 2, 4, 0, 6, 7, 4, 3

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Scan for the pattern 6, 7 and then check the digit after the 7.

The blocks 6, 7, 5 and 6, 7, 2 both qualify, since the 7 follows a 6 and is not followed by 4.

The block 6, 7, 4 near the end fails because the 7 is followed by 4. All other 7s are not preceded by 6.

Hence the count is two.
