    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: 33 theory 38 formal set 68 velocity uniformity 14 biscuit 49 26
    Step I:   16 33 theory 38 formal set 68 velocity uniformity 49 26 biscuit
    Step II:   formal 16 33 theory 38 set 68 velocity uniformity 49 biscuit 28
    Step III: 31 formal 16 theory 3868 velocity uniformity 49 biscuit 2 8 set
    Step IV: theory 31 formal 16 68 velocity uniformity 49 biscuit 28 set 40
    Step V:   47 theory 31 formal 1668 velocity biscuit 28 set 40 uniformity
    Step VI: velocity 47 theory 31 formal 16 biscuit 28 set 40 uniformity 70
    And step VI is the last step of the above input. As per rules followed in the above step, find out in each of the following questions the appropriate steps.
    Input:    most guide 17 outer 48 37 apex 77 hold 53 entitle 61
    Which of the following elements (words/numbers) comes exactly between 'apex' and '53' in Step III?

    A)  35                              

    B)  hold   

    C)  61                  

    D)       entitle

    E)  None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The numbers are arranged in ascending order. In the first step the lowest number is arranged at the extreme left end. And in the second step, the next number is arranged at the extreme right, and this process is continued in each alternate step. Rule for even number: 2 is added to each even no. ie 14 + 2 = 16. And rule for odd number: 2 is subtracted, ie 33 - 2 = 31. Words are arranged in alphabetical order. In the first step, the word which comes first according to English dictionary is arranged first at the extreme right. And in the second step next '.void is arranged at the extreme left. And this process is continued in alternate steps till the final arrangement. Input: most guide 17 outer 48 37 apex 77 hold 53 entitle 61 Step I; 15 most guide outer 48 37 77 hold 53 entitle 61 apex Step II: entitle 15 most guide outer 48 77 hold 53 61 apex 35 Step III: 50 entitle 15 most outer 77 hold 53 61 apex 35 guide Step IV: hold 50 entitle 15 most outer 77 61 apex 35 guide 51 Step V: 59 hold 50 entitle 15 outer 77 apex 35 guide 51 most Step VI: outer 59 hold 50 entitle 15 apex 35 guide 51 most 75
