A word arrangement machine when given an input line of words, rarranges them following a particular rule in each step. The following is the illustration of the input and the steps of arragement:
Input : She was shot dead at, her residence
Step I : at was shot dead she her residence
Step II : at her shot dead she was residence
Step III : at her she dead shot was residence
Step IV : at her she was shot dead residence
Step V: at her she was shot dead residence
Since the words are fully arranged, the machine stops. Otherwise it may go on till the words get fully arranged. Study the logic and answer the questions.
In how many steps will the following input be fully arranged ?
Input : India has always been a critical factor
Solution
In the final step, the words are arranged based on the number of letters in the word and words with same number of letters are arranged alphabetically.
Like in Step 1, as "at" should come on the 1st position because it has least number of letters, the 1st word i.e. "she" will be exchanged with "at".
Similarly, "India has always been a critical factor" will be arranged as:
Step 1: a has always been India critical factor
Step 2: a has been always India critical factor
Step 3: a has been India always critical factor
Step 4: a has been India always factor critical
So, the given sentence could be arranged in 4 steps.
