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.
`{:("input : by now 25 72 sight 37 15 home"),("Step I : sight by now 25 72 37 15 home"),("step II: sight 15 by now 25 72 37 home"),("Step III :sight 15 now by 25 72 37 home"),("Step IV:sight 15 now 25 by 72 37 home"),("Step V: sight 15 now 25 home by 72 37"),("Step VI: sight 15 now 25 home 37 by 72"):}`
And step VI is the last step of the rearrangement. As per the rules followed in the above steps, find out in each of the following questions the appropriate step for the given input.
step III of an input is : yellow 12 tire 92 84 36 goal life
How many more steps will be required to complete the rearrangement ?

Options

A. Three
B. Four
C. Five
D. Six

Answer

B

Explanation

After analysing the sample sequence, the pattern/rule
in each step for a word and number arrangement is as follows :
First step : Word comes last in the dictionary or in
alphabetical order shifts to the left most position. The
remaining terms shifts rightwards.
Second step : Lowest number or smallest number shifts to
the second position. The remaining terms shifts rightwards.
So, the words are arranged in reverse alphabetical order
while the numbers are arranged in an ascending order
alternately.
Note : At each step, position of only one term is altered.
Step III : yellow 12 tire 92 84 36 goal life.
Step IV : yellow 12 tire 36 92 84 goal life.
Step V : yellow 12 tire 36 life 92 84 goal.
Step VI : yellow 12 tire 36 life 84 92 goal.
Step VII : yellow 12 tire 36 life 84 goal 92.
So, step VII is the last step.
Therefore, required number of more steps after step
III to complete the rearrangement = (7-3) =4 (Four)
