Solutions
Solutions (1-5):
In step I, the last word in the alphabetical order is shifted to the left end.
In step II, the smallest number is taken, and the next prime number to the smallest number is shifted to the left end (just before the element arranged in previous step).
In step III, the second last word in the alphabetical order is shifted to the left end.
Step IV, second smallest number is taken, and the next prime number to the smallest number is shifted to the left end.
The above process is repeated until we get the final output.

Solutions (6-10):
The rearrangement takes place in the following ways:
In Step 1, all the prime digits of a number are arranged first in ascending order followed by remaining digits arranged in ascending order within the number.
In Step II, all the numbers are arranged in descending order from the left end.
In Step III, in every number, last three digits are added and the number formed is followed by 1st digit and 2nd digit of that number.
In Step IV, Product of 1st and 2nd digit is written first, followed by the product of 3rd and 4th digit in the number.
In Step V, all the digits are arranged in descending order within the number.
In Step VI, difference between the first and the last digits of each number is written.
