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.Input: chair wood 21 42 59 height bench 78Step I: 78 chair wood 21 42 59 height benchStep II: 78 bench 59 chair wood 21 42 59 heightStep III: 78 bench 59 chair wood 21 42 heightStep IV: 78 bench 59 chair 42 wood 21 heightStep V: 78 bench 59 chair 42 height wood 21Step VI: 78 bench 59 chair 42 height 21 woodHence, step VI is the last step.
