Study the following information carefully and answer the given 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 : 96 gain 63 forest 38 78 deep house
Step 1 : deep 96 gain 63 forest 38 78 house
Step II : deep 38 96 gain 63 forest 78 house
Step III : deep 38 forest gain 96 63 78 house
Step IV : deep 38 forest 63 gain 96 78 house
Step V : deep 38 forest 63 gain 78 96 house
Step VI : deep 38 forest 63 gain 78 house 96
and Step VI is the last step of the rearrangement of the above input.
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 : train 59 47 25 over burden 63 sky. Which of the following steps will be the last but one ?
The pattern followed here is that in the first step, the word with the smallest first letter alphabetically is placed at first position. In the next step, the smallest number is placed at second position.
Similarly, the above pattern is followed till all the words (based on their first letter) and numbers are arranged in ascending order alternatively.
Input : train 59 47 25 over burden 63 sky
Step I : burden train 59 47 25 over 63 sky
Step II : burden 25 train 59 47 over 63 sky
Step III : burden 25 over train 59 47 63 sky
Step IV : burden 25 over 47 train 59 63 sky
Step V : burden 25 over 47 sky train 59 63
Step VI : burden 25 over 47 sky 59 train 63
Step VI is the final step of the rearrangement. Last but one step is step V.
