Question 1. Study the following information carefully and answer the given questions:A word and number arrangement machine when given an input line of words and numbers rearranges them following a particular rule in each step. The following is an illustration of input and rearrangement:Input: now 41  28 for join 37 go 61Step I: 61 now 41 28 for join 37 goStep II: 61 for now 41 28 join 37 goStep III: 61 for 41 now 28 join 37 goStep IV: 61 for 41 go now 28 join 37Step V: 61 for 41 go 37 now 28 joinStep VI: 61 for 41 go 37 join now 28Step VII: 61 for 41 go 37 join 28 nowStep VIII: is the last step for this input.As per the rules followed in the above steps, find out in each of the following questions the appropriate step for the given input.Input: when you 22 special 31  16  47 town. Which of the following steps will be the last but one?
  1.    IV
  2.    VI
  3.    V
  4.    VII
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> V


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.

From the last step it can be concluded that words and numbers are arranged alternately. Word with least number of alters shifts to the leftmost position followed by the least number among the given numbers. In case of two words with number of letters, words are arranged as per their dictionary order. For getting arranged they are interchanged with the word/number whose place it occupies.Step II: get 116 1250 say 1124 four 148 hireStep III: get 116 say 1250 1124 four 148 hireStep IV: get 116 say 148 1124 four 1250 hireStep V: get 116 say 148 four 1124 1250 hireStep VI: get 116 say 148 four 1124 hire 1250
