(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 II : 76 ask 12 32 begin over join 42

Step III : 76 ask 42 12 32 begin over join

Step IV : 76 ask 42 begin 12 32 over join

Step V : 76 ask 42 begin 32 12 over join

Step VI : 76 ask 42 begin 32 join 12 over

(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.

Input: glass full 15 37 water now 85 67

Step I : water glass full 15 37 now 85 67
