Solution (6-10):
Sol. 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 are arranged from the left end while the numbers are arranged from the right end.
For words- words are arranged according to alphabetical order (English dictionary) from left end with each vowel of word is replaced by its opposite letter according to alphabetical series while there will be no change in each consonant of the word and same will be followed in further steps.
For numbers- Numbers are arranged in descending order from right end in such a way that each number is replaced by the square of difference of both the digits of the number.
