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 : base 35 or gone 62 49 87 ahead
Step 1 : 87 base 35 or gone 62 49 ahead
Step II : 87 ahead base 35 or gone 62 49
Step Ill : 87 ahead 62 base 35 or gone 49
Step IV : 87 ahead 62 base 49 35 or gone
Step V : 87 head 62 base 49 gone 35 or
and Step V 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.
Input : power fail now 52 24 75 gate 34. Which of the following steps will be the last but one?
The pattern followed is that in the first step, the highest number in the arrangement is placed at first position. In the second step, the word with the smallest first letter in the alphabetical order is placed at second position.
The above pattern is followed until all the numbers are arranged in descending order and all the words are arranged in ascending order according to their first alphabet alternatively.
Input : power fail now 52 24 75 gate 34
Step I : 75 power fail now 52 24 gate 34
Step II : 75 fail power now 52 24 gate 34
Step III : 75 fail 52 power now 24 gate 34
Step IV : 75 fail 52 gate power now 24 34
Step V : 75 fail 52 gate 34 power now 24
Step VI : 75 fail 52 gate 34 now power 24
Step VII : 75 fail 52 gate 34 now 24 power
Step VII is the final step. Thus 6th step is the last but one step.
