Solution (11-15):

Sol. The machine first rearranges words which are to the immediate left of the numbers according to the number of letters in the words in ascending order and the numbers according to the sum of the digits of the number in descending order.
After that, the remaining words are also arranged according to the number of letters in the words in ascending order and if more than one word having the same number of letters, then they are arranged according to the alphabetical order.
In the last step, except the words adjacent to the numbers, the place value of the second letter of the words from the left end is written in the place of that particular word.
