Directions (1-5): Study the following information to 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. (All the numbers are two-digit numbers and all are arranged as per some logic based on the value of the number.)
Input: we 26 expect 19 outlook 25 after 28 demonetisation 18
Step I: 28 26 expect 19 outlook 25 after demonetisation 18 we
Step II: 19 28 26 expect outlook 25 demonetisation 18 we after
Step III: 25 19 28 26 outlook demonetisation 18 we after expect
Step IV: 26 25 19 28 demonetisation 18 we after expect outlook
Step V: 18 26 25 19 28 we after expect outlook demonetisation
Step V is the last step of the arrangement the above input.
As per the rules followed in the above steps, find out in each of the following questions the appropriate steps for the given input.
Input: since two 24 25 factors pushed 18 20 35 down
Q11. Which of the following would be step II?
(a) 18 35 since 24 25 factors pushed two20 down
(b) 18 35 since 24 25 factors pushed 20 down two
(c) 18 35 since 24 25 factors pushed 20 two down
(d) 18 35 since 24 25 factors 20 pushed two down
Q2. Which word/number would be at seventh position from the left end in step IV?
(a) 18
(b) 35
(c) 25
(d) factors
(e) two
Q3. How many steps required to complete the above input?
(a) Seven
(b) Two
(c) Six
(d) Four
(e) Five
Q4. In which step the elements ‘25 factors two’ found in the same order?
(a) Step V
(b) Step IV
(c) Step I
(d) Step II
(e) Step III
Q5. Which element is exactly between ‘20’ and ‘down’ in Step III?
(a) two
(b) since
(c) pushed
(d) factors
(e) none of these
Solution (1-5):
Students let us understand the Logic behind this Question and let’s understand how to solve it. When we see the each step, then we can find that there is both number and words are arranged in each step.
a) Words are arranged according to total number of letter which contains the individual words.The word which has lowest number arranged first to extreme right.
For Example-two (Contains three letter), which has lowest among all words, arranged first. And this process is continued in further step.
b) For number arrangement- We have to see the the word which is arranged first to extreme right. Like, in above arrangement word “two” arranged first. And then we have to calculate the numerical value of first and last letter of that word(according to English dictionary). T+O=20+15=35. So, 35 is arranged to extreme left. And this process is continued in further step.
Input: since two 24 25 factors pushed 18 20 35 down
Step I: 35 since 24 25 factors pushed 18 20 down two
Step II: 18 35 since 24 25 factors pushed 20 two down
Step III: 24 18 35 25 factors pushed 20 two down since
Step IV: 20 24 18 35 25 factors two down since pushed
Step V: 25 20 24 18 35 two down since pushed factors
