S e ? o L _ _ Digit

Since upper case should be more than lower case. Here one upper case should be there and also of all the 5 characters to use. special char has not been used so the sixth and 7th can be a upper case char and a special char.

Now, another exception is that consecutive char cant be used, so sixth cant be upper case. Which leaves us with special char as 6th and Upper case as 7th.

"?" is one of the punctuation marks.

In the table below, select a type of character that the sixth character in the password must be and a type of character that the seventh character must be. Make only two selections, one in each column.



Restrictions
First five are already given.
More uppercase
At least one of each type
Last character is digit
No two consecutive characters can be same type

So what we have is : S e ? o L _ _ Digit
We are looking for the two blanks.
1) upper case and lower case are similar in number, so the two blanks have to contain one upper case.
2) Special character is not used even once, so one of the blanks is surely special character.

Knowing the two blanks and restriction that no two consecutive character can be same, sixth character, which is to be differ t from fifth character (uppercase), has to be special character and seventh has to be upper case.

­The Password is
  1. S
  2. e
  3. ?
  4. o
  5. L
  6. [__]
  7. [__]
  8. [digit]
The password  include sat least one character of each of five types: special characters, digits, punctuation marks, uppercase letters and lowercase letters
=> Either the 6th or 7th character will be special character

Because the password will contain more uppercase letters than any other four types
=> Either the 6th or 7th character will be uppercase letters for the number of uppercase letters to be highest - 3 (because there are already 2 lowercase letters)
=> The uppercase must be at 7th position because No consecutive characters in the password can be of the same type (the 5th position is already an uppercase letter)

6th position: special character
7th position: uppercase letter
