Direction: Bead the given information and answer the questions. |
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 I. 'go now 52 38 17 for again 65' |
Step I 65 go now 52 38 17 for again |
Step II 65 again go now 52 38 17 for |
Step III 65 again 52 go now 38 17 for |
Step IV 65 again 52 for go now 38 17 |
Step V 65 again 52 for 38 go now 17 |
Step VI 65 again 52 for 38 go 17 now |
Step VI is the last step of the rearrangement. |
As per the rules followed in the above steps, find out in each of the following questions the appropriate step for the given input. |
Step II of an input is '76 ask 12 32 begin over join 42'. |
A) Four
B) Five
C) Six
D) Three
E) None of these
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
In Step I, the largest number goes to the extreme left pushing rest of the line rightward; in the next step the word that comes first in alphabetical order goes to the second position from left pushing rest of the line rightward, thus the numbers and the words get arranged alternately till all the numbers are in descending order and all the words are in alphabetical order. |
[a] Step II 76 ask 12 32 begin over join 42 |
Step III 76 ask 42 12 32 begin over join |
Step IV 76 ask 42 begin 12 32 over join |
Step V 76 ask 42 begin 32 12 over join |
Step VI 76 ask 42 begin 32 join 12 over |
Clearly, after Step II, four more steps are require complete the arrangement. |
