Step II : for bake gate 20 just not 67 38 sun 55 86 71
Step III : gate for bake 20 just not 38 sun 55 86 71 67
Step IV : just gate for bake 20 not 38 sun 86 71 67 55
Step V : not just gate for bake 20 sun 86 71 67 55 38
Step VI : sun not just gate for bake 86 71 67 55 38 20 and
Step VI is the last step of the above input as the desired arrangement is reached.

Input : 31 rise gem 15 92 47 aim big 25 does 56 not 85 63 with moon

Question 189

Which of the following represents the position of '92' in the Vlth step?

Solution

In step I, the word with the smallest first letter alphabetically is placed at first position and the highest number is placed at last position. Then in step II, word with second smallest first letter is placed at first position and second highest number is placed at last position.

Similar pattern is followed in next steps, and finally the words are arranged in descending order of their first letters alphabetically and the numbers are also arranged in descending order.

Input : 31 rise gem 15 92 47 aim big 25 does 56 not 85 63 with moon

Step I : aim 31 rise gem 15 47 big 25 does 56 not 85 63 with moon 92

Step II : big aim 31 rise gem 15 47 25 does 56 not 63 with moon 92 85

Step III : does big aim 31 rise gem 15 47 25 56 not with moon 92 85 63

Step IV : gem does big aim 31 rise 15 47 25 not with moon 92 85 63 56

Step V : moon gem does big aim 31 rise 15 25 not with 92 85 63 56 47

Step VI : not moon gem does big aim rise 15 25 with 92 85 63 56 47 31

Step VII : rise not moon gem does big aim 15 with 92 85 63 56 47 31 25

Step VIII : with rise not moon gem does big aim 92 85 63 56 47 31 25 15

Step VIII is the final step.

Position of '92' in Step VI = 6th from right

=> Ans - (C)
