Directions (11-15): 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 rearrangement.

Input: 56 set 90 colour 43 pink 65 ago toy 17 94 near
Step I: 19 56 set 90 colour 43 pink 65 toy 94 near ago
Step II: colour 19 56 set 90 pink 65 toy 94 near ago 45
Step III: 54 colour 19 set 90 pink 65 toy 94 ago 45 near
Step IV: pink 54 colour 19 set 90 toy 94 ago 45 near 67
Step V: 88 pink 54 colour 19 toy 94 ago 45 near 67 set
Step VI: toy 88 pink 54 colour 19 ago 45 near 67 set 92

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.

Solutions

Solutions (6-9):
S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. Here, condition (4) is used
S7. Ans.(c)
Sol. Here, condition (2) is used
S8. Ans.(b)
Sol. Here, condition (1) is used
S9. Ans.(d)
Sol. Here, condition (3) is used

S10. Ans. (d)
Sol. The-given statement clearly implies that all irregular and some regular students fail in the examinations. This, in turn, means that all successful students are regular but not all regular students are successful. So, neither I nor II follows.

Solutions(11-15):
Sol. Students let us understand the Logic behind this Question and let’s understand how to solve it. When we see in each step, then we can find that there are both number and words are arranged in each step.
(1) For words arrangement- Words are arranged according to ascending order given in English alphabetical order. In first step the words which comes first according to English dictionary arranged first to extreme right. And in second step next word are arranged to extreme left.
And this process is continued in further step.
(2) For number arrangement- Number are arranged according to ascending order. In first step lowest number is arranged on extreme left. And in second step next number is arranged on extreme right. And this process is continued in further step (Each odd number is added by two (+2) while they are arranged and two is subtracted from each even number (-2) while they are arranged).
