Solution

1.R # T U D $ J @ B E © W A F % P Q I N M * Z
9th from the right is F.

2.6th to the left of 14th from the left end means 8th from the left end i.e, J

3.13th to the left of Q = @
5th to the right of @ = W

4.|Consonant|Vowel|Number|
Such combinations are : TU3, BE9

5.B(-1) = @(+3) = 9
P(-1) = %(+3) = 4
N(-1) = I(+3) = M
3(-2) = T(+4) = $
A(-1) = 1(+3) = %
