Step 1: Understand the positions in the string Let us analyze the positional distance between the letters for each given option based on the master alphanumeric sequence:
W, 1, R, %, 4, J, E, #, 7, M, T, 2, I, 9, B, H, 3, A, , 9, F, Q, 5, D, G, 6, U, S, P</p><p>Let's break down the positional pattern of a standard group item consisting of three elements (First, Second, Third):</p><p><strong>Step 2: Test each option against the master arrangement</strong></p><ul><li><p><strong>Option A: R W 4</strong></p><ul><li><p>Find <strong>R</strong> in the series: W, 1, [R], %, 4</p></li><li><p>From R to <strong>W</strong>: Move 2 steps backward (Left). ⟹(−2)</p></li><li><p>From R to <strong>4</strong>: Move 2 steps forward (Right). ⟹(+2)</p></li><li><p><em>Pattern:</em> (−2,+2)</p></li></ul></li><li><p><strong>Option C: 3 B

Pattern: (−2,+2)
Option D: 5 F G
Find 5 in the series: 9, F, Q, [5], D, G
From 5 to F: Move 2 steps backward (Left). ⟹(−2)
From 5 to G: Move 2 steps forward (Right). ⟹(+2)
Pattern: (−2,+2)
Option B: 9 Q A
Note: There are two 9s in the sequence. Let's look at the second 9 near Q and A: 3, A, $, [9], F, Q
From 9 to Q: Move 2 steps forward (Right). ⟹(+2)
From 9 to A: Move 2 steps backward (Left). ⟹(−2)
Pattern: (+2,−2) — This is inverted compared to all other options.
Conclusion
Options A, C, and D strictly follow the position mapping logic of moving 2 steps left for the second element and 2 steps right for the third element. Option B violates this structural rule.
Correct Option: B
