Answer: (A) 27

Explanation

The symbol @ is at the 13th position. The elements to its right are 4, !, 0, , 7, ^, 3, 5, , 8, #. Extracting all digits from this sub-series gives 4, 0, 7, 3, 5, and 8. Summing them yields 4 + 0 + 7 + 3 + 5 + 8 = 27.

Answer: (D) *

Explanation

The 6th element from the left end is # (6th position) and the 9th element from the right end is 0 (16th position). The elements between position 6 and position 16 inclusive form an 11-element sub-sequence. The middle element of this sub-sequence is at position (6 + 16) / 2 = 11, which is *.
