Solutions
Solution (6-10):
Sol. 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, “epic and choose” in which we can see that “c” and “e” are last letters of both words, but c comes 1st, so “epic” 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: visit 17 48 grand black 23 opinion 61 25 science 16
Step I: 17 visit 48 black 23 opinion 61 25 science 16 grand
