Q-1)   Input : any how 49 24 far wide 34 69. Which of the following steps will be the last but one?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

(e)

Explanation:

In the first step, the word that comes first in the reverse alphabetical order comes to the first place and the rest of the line shift rightward. In the next step, the largest number occupies the next place and the rest of the line shifts rightward. This goes on alternately till the words get arranged in the reverse alphabetical order and the numbers in a descending order.

Input : any how 49 24 far wide 34 69

Step I : wide any how 49 24 far 34 69

Step II : wide 69 any how 49 24 far 34

Step III : wide 69 how any 49 24 far 34

Step IV : wide 69 how 49 any 24 far 34

Q-15)   Step IV of an input is : 58 box 47 dew 15 21 town pot. Which of the following steps will be the last?

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

(e)

Explanation:

In step I, the largest number goes to the extreme left and the rest of the line shifts rightwards. In the next step the word that comes first in alphabetical order goes to the second position from the left and the rest of the line shifts rightwards. Thus the numbers and the words get arranged alternately till all the numbers are in descending order and all the words in alphabetical order.

Step IV : 58 box 47 dew 15 21 town pot

Step V : 58 box 47 dew 21 15 town pot

Step VI : 58 box 47 dew 21 pot 15 town

Thus step VI will be last.

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

(e)

Explanation:

In step I, the word that comes last in the alphabetical order comes to the first place, pushing the rest of the line rightward. In step II, the largest number comes at the second place, pushing the line rightward. Thus, words and numbers get arranged alternately till all the words are in reverse alphabetically order and numbers in descending order.

We can't work backward in an arrangement type.

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

(e)

Explanation:

In step I the least number comes to the left most position, pushing the rest of the line rightward . In step II the word that comes last in the alphabetical order shifts to second from left, pushing again the rest of the line rightward. Similarly, in step III the second least number shifts to third from left. In step IV the second from last in the alphabetical order comes to the fourth position. And this goes on alternately till all the numbers are arranged in ascending order and the words in reverse alphabetical order.
