Study the given letter-symbol series and answer the question that follows:
L @ S * E ^ B U # W I < E M @ O S # B * H ! A & L < O
If we replace each of the vowels with any consonant and similarly if we replace each of the consonants in the original series with any vowel, then how many consonants will be immediately followed by a symbol in the resultant series thus formed?
X and Y can complete a piece of work in 8 days and 12 days, respectively. If they work on alternate days, with X working on the first day, how long will it take the duo to complete the work?
9 \( \frac{1}{3} \)days
9 \( \frac{2}{3} \) days
9 \( \frac{3}{5} \) days
9 \( \frac{1}{5} \) days
