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.
General Discussion
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.
