Solutions
Solutions (6-10):
(i) For numbers- In this input-output two numbers are rearranging in each step.

This process is continued till all numbers are arranges.
(ii) After arranging all numbers, words are arranged in a same way, two words are arranged in each step. The word is arranged alphabetical order at the left most end and the reverse alphabetical order at the rightmost end in each step. This process is continued till all words are arranged.

Sol. Since both the assumptions follow from the given statement, so both I and II are implicit.
S12. Ans. (e)
Sol. It is mentioned that farmers will be in trouble without rain. This means that timely rain is essential. Also, it shows that farmers are dependent on rain. So, both I and II are implicit.
S13. Ans. (d)
Sol. Clearly, the city bus company is meant to provide bus services according to the needs of the local residents and not as per their own convenience. So, I is not implicit. Again, the statement talks of an appeal of a resident of Ram Nagar. So, nothing can be said about the company’s response to appeals of the residents of Sant Colony. So, II is also not implicit.
