When a word and number arrangement machine is given an input line of words and numbers, it arranges them following a particular rule. The following is an illustration of input and its rearrangement. 

Input: group 9 has 47 decided 29 to 35 put 99

Step I: to group 9 has decided 29 35 put 99 48

Step II: put to group 9 has decided 35 99 48 30

Step III: has put to group 9 decided 35 48 30 98 

Step IV: group has put to 9 decided 48 30 98 34

Step V: decided group has put to 48 30 98 34 8 

Step V is the last step of the above arrangement as the intended arrangement is obtained.

As per the rules followed in the given steps find out the appropriate steps for the given input.

Solution(11-15): 
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) For words arrangement- Words are arranged in descending order from left to right according to English dictionary.
b) For numbers arrangement- First prime numbers are arranged in descending order from right end and also increase 1 in that prime number (67 is a prime number, it is arranged first  +1= 68).
After arrangement of all the prime numbers, non-prime numbers are arranged in descending order from right end and also decrease 1 from that non-prime number (75 is a non-prime number -1=74).
 Input:  have 67 services 41 been 39 put 75 in 51
  Step I:  services have 41 been 39 put 75 in 51 68
 Step II:  put services have been 39 75 in 51 68 42
