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 rearrangement. (All the numbers are two-digit numbers)
Input pink for 25 72 white jar 12 96
Step I 96 pink for 25 72 white jar 12
Step II 96 for pink 25 72 white jar 12
Step III 96 for 72 pink 25 white jar 12
Step IV 96 for 72 jar pink 5 white 12
Step V 96 for 72 jar 25 pink white 12
Step VI 96 for 72 jar 2 pink 12 white
and step vi is the last step of the rearrangement as the desire arrangement is reached.
As per the rules followed the above steps, find out in each of the following questions the appropriate step for the given input. (All the numbers are two-digit numbers)
