(c) back
(d) 16
(e) 48
Solutions (6-10):
In this input output question two numbers are arranged in each step following a certain pattern. Let us understand the logic behind it-
(i) For Words: Words are arranged according to the place value of the last letter in the alphabetical series from right to left in the right end. The word which has the last letter, which comes 1st in alphabetical series, is arranged first and so on. For example, “static and choose” in which we can see that “c” and “e” are last letters of both words, but c comes 1st, so “static” will be arranged 1st.
(ii) For Numbers: They are arranged in increasing order. The prime numbers are arranged first followed by composite numbers from left to right in left end.
Input: start 17 48 grand back 23 minimum 61 25 science 16
Step I: 17 start 48 back 23 minimum 61 25 science 16 grand
Step II: 17 23 start 48 back minimum 61 25 16 science grand
Step III: 17 23 61 start 48 minimum 25 16 back science grand
Step IV: 17 23 61 16 start 48 25 minimum back science grand
Step V: 17 23 61 16 25 48 start minimum back science grand
