Sol. Students let us understand the Logic behind this Question and let’s understand how to solve it. As a first step lets first understand the logic behind the Output. If you will see the final output, you will observe the following:
(i) For words – All the words are arranged in alphabetical series in descending order from left to right. That means the word which comes first in alphabetical series arranges first and so on till the last word arranges.
(ii) For numbers – The resultant number in each step of input is obtained by adding 1 if, the number is an odd number and subtracting 1 if, the number is an even number as per the given input. Thus, the numbers are arranged in ascending order from right to left. The largest number arranges first, followed by the second largest and so on till the smallest number which is arranged at the right end.
