    Direction: Study the following information carefully and answer the given questions.
    A word and number arrangement machine when given an input line of words and number rearranges them following a particular rule in each step. The following is an illustration of input and rearrangement. (All the numbers given in the arrangement are two digit numbers [IBPS (SO) 2012]
    Input   gone over 36 69 test 72 park 27
    Step I   27 gone over 35 69 test 72 park
    Step II 27 test gone over 35 69 72 park
    Step III 27 test 35 gone over 69 72 park
    Step IV 27 test 35 park gone over 69 72
    Step V 27 test 35 park 69 gone over 72
    Step VI 27 test 35 park 69 over gone 72
    Step VII 27 test 35 park 69 over 72 gone and Step VII is the last step of the rearrangement of the above input as the desired arrangement is obtained.
    As per the rules followed in the above steps, find out in each of the following questions the appropriate step for the given input.
    Input 86 open shut door 31 49 always 45.
    How many steps will be required to complete the rearrangement?

    A)  Five

    B)  Six  

    C)  Seven

    D)  Four

    E)  None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    In Step I, the smallest number comes at the first place from left pushing rest of the line towards right; in Step II, the word coming last alphabetically comes at the second place from left pushing rest of the line towards right, in Step III. second smallest number comes at the third place from left pushing rest of the line towards right; in step IV, word coming second last alphabetically comes at the fourth position from left pushing the rest of the line rightward. Thus, numbers and words get arranged alternately till the numbers are in ascending order and the words are in reverse alphabetical order.
    [b] Input 86 open shut door 31 49 always 45
    Step I 31 86 open shut door 49 always 45
    Step II31 shut 86 open door 49 always 45
    Step III 31 shut 45 86 open door 49 always
    Step IV 31 shut 45 open 86 door 49 always
    Step V 31 shut 45 open 49 86 door always
    Step VI 31 shut 45 open 49 door 86 always
    \[\therefore \] Total steps = Six
    So, six steps will be required to complete the rearrangement.
