A word and number arrangement machine when given an input line of words and numbers rearranges them following a particular rule in each step. The following is an illustration of input and rearrangement.

Input: army 31 choose another 22 47 world 11 62 epic 35

Step I: 11 army 31 choose another 22 47 world 62 35 epic

Step II: 11 31 army choose another 22 47 62 35 world epic

And step V is the last step of the above input. As per the rules followed in the above step, find out the appropriate step for the given output.

Input: visit 17 48 grand black 23 opinion 61 25 science 16

Q1. Which element is exactly between the third element from left end and fifth element from right end in step IV?

black

visit

grand

Solution:

In this input output question two numbers are arranged in each step following a certain pattern. Let us understand the logic behind it-

(i) For Words: Words are arranged according to the place value of the last letter in the alphabetical series from right to left in the right end. The word which has the last letter, which comes 1st in alphabetical series, is arranged first and so on. For example, “epic and choose” in which we can see that “c” and “e” are last letters of both words, but c comes 1st, so “epic” will be arranged 1st.

(ii) For Numbers: They are arranged in increasing order. The prime numbers are arranged first followed by composite numbers from left to right in left end.

None us these

Solution:

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 a word and a number in each step.

(ii)- The words are arranged according to the length of words in descending order from left. That means the word having more number of letters are arrange first at the left end and the words having less number of letter arrange in last at the left end.

(iii)- Numbers are arranged in descending order on the right end in each step.
