The logic is: the words get arranged in alphabetical order. Where as the numbers get arranged in descending order. Numbers occupy odd places in the final steps while words occupy even positions. When any element gets arranged, the previous element occupying that position shifts one place towards right.Here we have to find out the penultimate second step.Input: when you 22 special 31 16 47 town
Step I: 47 when you 22 special 31 16 townStep II: 47 special when you 22 31 16 townStep III: 47 special 31 when you 22 16 townStep IV: 47 special 31 town when you 22 16Step V: 47 special 31 town 22 when you 16Step VI: Special 31 town 22 when 16 youHere, step VI is last step. Thus, the penultimate step will be step V.
