Q1. In which of the following step the elements ’12 salary 58 delay’ found in the same order?
Step I
Step IV
Step V
Step II
none of these
Solution:
The machine rearranges one word and one number in each step. Words and numbers are arranged in alternative steps. In 1st and 3rd step words are arranged while in 2nd and 4th step numbers are arranged. The words are arranged according to the number of letters in it from both the ends, such that the word containing highest number of letter is arranged from left and the 2nd highest on right end and the same is done in 3rd step. If, two words contain same number of letters then they are arranged in ascending order of the place value (in alphabetical series).
For numbers, firstly prime numbers are arranged in ascending order from both ends (left to right). Similarly composite numbers are arranged in the 4th step.
