Study the following information
carefully and 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 .
`{:("Input : say dry 42 96 get 39 kite 67"),("Step I: 96 say dry 42 get 39 kite 67"),("Step II: 96 dry say 42 get 39 kite 67"),("Step III :96 dry 39 say 42 get kite 67"),("Step IV: 96 dry 39 say 67 42 get kite"),("Step V: 96 dry 39 say 67 get 42 kite"):}`
Arrangement in Step V is the final arrangement and step V is the last step.
You have to answer the questions by following the same
rules as illustrated above.
If the second step of an input is 76 from 48 super itself
56 18 went, how many more steps will be required to
complete the arrangement ?

Options

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

Answer

C

Explanation

After analysing the sample sequence, the pattern/rule
in each step for a word and number arrangement is as follows :
First step : Largest nunber comes to the left most position.
The remaining terms shifts right wards.
Second step : Word comes first in the alphabetical order
shifts to the second position . The remaining terms shifts rightwards.
So, the numbers are arranged as : Largest, Smallest, Second largest, Second Smallest ........ and so on.
The worda are arranged as : A,Z,B,Y,......... and so on.
So, the numbers and words get arranged alternately.
Note : At each step, position of only one term is altered.
Step II : 76 from 48 super itself 56 18 went.
Step III : 76 from 18 48 super itself 56 went.
Step IV : 76 from 18 went 48 super itself 56.
Step V : 76 from 18 went 56 48 supper itself.
Step VI : 76 from 18 went 56 itself 48 super.
So, step VI is the last step.
Therefore, required number of more steps after step II
to complete the rearrangement =(6-2)=4(four).
