Today is DAY 29 of the study plan and in Reasoning today’s chapter is Machine Input-Output.


Directions (1-5): Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:
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 an input and its rearrangement:
Input:  82 machine them 72 86 complete required 75 79 speak
Step I:  72 82 machine 86 complete required 75 79 speak them
Step II:  75 72 82 machine 86 complete required 79 them speak
Step III:  79 75 72 82 machine 86 complete them speak required
Step IV:  82 79 75 72 86 complete them speak required machine
Step V:  86 82 79 75 72 them speak required machine complete
And Step V is the last step 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:

When a word and number arrangement machine is given an input live of words and numbers, it arranges them following a particular rule. The following is an illustration of an input and rearrangement. (All the numbers are two-digit numbers.)

Input: centre 24 actual 15 require impact 37 96 marine 49 unable 82
Step I: 24 centre actual 15 require impact 37 96 marine unable 82 49
Step II: 82 24 centre actual 15 require impact 96 marine unable 49 37 
Step III: 96 82 24 centre actual require impact marine unable 49 37 15
Step IV: centre 96 82 24 actual require impact marine 49 37 15 unable
Step V: marine centre 96 82 24 actual require 49 37 15 unable impact
Step VI: require marine centre 96 82 24 49 37 15 unable impact actual
And step VI is the last step of the above arrangement as the intended arrangement is obtained.
