Input: pound 18 under 76 eat 27 brown 37 51 victory 86 knight

Q1. How many steps would be needed to complete the arrangement?

VIII

None of these

Solution:

In this question two words and two numbers are arranged in each step alternatively. In the first step, the smallest number is arranged at the left most end and the second smallest number is placed at the rightmost end. In the second step, the words are arranged in alphabetically starting with the word which comes first in the dictionary at the left most end and the word which comes next is placed at the rightmost end. And this process is followed till no word or number is left unarranged.

For words → Word are arranged according to last letter of each word. So, we have to see the last letter of each word. In the given input series last letter of given words are- R, S, N, O and T. And then each last letter is arranged in alphabetical order(according to English dictionary) from right to left. In given input series N is least among all last letters so word “been” is arranged first.

For numbers→ for the number arrangement we have to add the digits of given number. And then each sum is arranged in ascending order from left to right.
