Directions for question :
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 an input and its rearrangement :
Input : world 65 32 95 bottle forth 46 hollow 28 15 give comment
Step I : 95 65 32 bottle forth 46 hollow 28 15 give comment world
Step II : 15 95 65 32 bottle forth 46 28 give comment world hollow
Step III : 65 15 95 32 bottle forth 46 28 comment world hollow give
Step IV : 28 65 15 95 32 bottle 46 comment world hollow give forth
Step V : 46 28 65 15 95 32 bottle world hollow give forth comment
Step VI : 32 46 28 65 15 95 world hollow give forth comment bottle (final output)
Answer the following questions based on the following input in the above word and number arrangement machine :
‘fire 89 amend the 28 16 bullet crowd 35 53 here 68’
Question :
Which of the following would be Step II ?
89 fire amend 28 16 bullet crowd 35 53 here 68 the
35 53 28 68 16 89 the here fire crowd bullet amend
16 89 amend fire 28 crowd bullet 35 53 68 the here
None of these None of these
From the illustration, we can see that In step I, the machine shifts the largest number to the leftmost place and the last word coming in English alphabetical series to the rightmost place
In step II, it shifts the smallest number to the leftmost place and the next word (in reverse alphabetical order) to the rightmost
In step III 2nd largest number is shifted to the leftmost place and the next word (in reverse alphabetical order) to the rightmost.
It continues accordingly.
Input : fire 89 amend the 28 16 bullet crowd 35 53 here 68
Step I : 89 fire amend 28 16 bullet crowd 35 53 here 68 the
Step II : 16 89 fire amend 28 bullet crowd 35 53 68 the here
Step III : 68 16 89 amend 28 bullet crowd 35 53 the here fire
Step IV : 28 68 16 89 amend bullet 35 53 the here fire crowd
Step V : 53 28 68 16 89 amend 35 the here fire crowd bullet
Step VI : 35 53 28 68 16 89 the here fire crowd bullet amend (final output)
Hence, Step II would be : ‘16 89 fire amend 28 bullet crowd 35 53 68 the here’
