Q6. In which step the elements ‘56 such 18’ found in the same order?

Step I

Step II

Step III

Step V

Step VI

Solution:

(6-10)
Students let us understand the Logic behind this Question and let’s understand how to solve it. When we see the each step, then we can find that there is both number and words are arranged in each step.

1) For words arrangement- In each word we have to see the first letter and then the first letter which is lowest among all letters of given word according to English dictionary arranges first to left. For example word- act (a is the first letter and also lowest among all the first letter of given word). So “act” arranges first to left and this process is continued in further step.

2) For number arrangement- Numbers are arranged according to following condition. In first step lowest odd number arranges first to right. And this process is continued in further step until all the odd number is arranged in third step. In fourth step lowest even number is to be arranged. And this process is continued in further step until all the even number are arranged (Each odd number is added by one (+1) while they are arranged and each even number is subtracted by one (-1) while they are arranged).

Input: because 56 such 29 act 24 put 17 extreme 32 risk 33
Step I: act because 56 such 29 24 put extreme 32 risk 33 18
Step II: because act 56 such 24 put extreme 32 risk 33 18 30
Step III: extreme because act 56 such 24 put 32 risk 18 30 34
Step IV: put extreme because act 56 such 32 risk 18 30 34 23
Step V: risk put extreme because act 56 such 18 30 34 23 31
Step VI: such risk put extreme because act 18 30 34 23 31 55
This is the Step V: risk put extreme because act 56 such 18 30 34 23 31

“56 such 18” found in same order in step V.
