In this new pattern input output question only one word and one number is arranged in each step. Let us understand the logic behind it- In each step the words and numbers are arranged from the left end.
For words- The word which comes last according to alphabetical series is arranged first and the last letter of that word is omitted and further first and fourth letter are interchanged and second and third letter are interchanged.
For numbers- Numbers start arranging as the highest number+1 is arranged in 1st step then second highest+1 number in second step and so on from left end after each newly arranged word.
