Students let us understand the Logic behind this Question and let’s understand how to solve it. As a first step let’s first understand the logic behind the Output. If you will see the final output you will observe the following:
(i) The machine rearranges one word and one number in each step.
(ii) The words are arranged in descending order based on the number of vowels in the given word. If two words contain the same number of vowels, then they are arranged in alphabetical order from left to right in each step.
(iii) While the numbers are arranged in decreasing order from left to right alternatively, even number first, followed by prime number alternatively.

Now lets take the arrangement given in the Question
Input: rock 31 rain 13 40 stock 86 takes 72 demotion worship 29
