As per the rules followed in the above steps, find out in each of the following questions the appropriate step for the given input. Input for the questions.

Input: gem stat ace cast omit fan rate uncut era input.

Q-1)   Which step number would be the following output? uncut omit gem stat ace rate era input fan cast

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

(e)

Explanation:

In each step, one word gets arranged from the left and one from the right. Note that words starting with vowels get arranged from the left and those starting with consonants get arranged from the right. This goes on in such a manner that finally we have vowel-starting words arranged in reverse alphabetical order followed by consonant-starting words arranged in reverse alphabetical order.

Input: gem stat ace cast omit fan rate uncut era input

Step I : uncut gem stat ace omit fan rate era input cast

Step II : uncut omit gem stat ace rate era input fan cast

Step III : uncut omit input stat ace rate era gem fan cast

Step IV : uncut omit input era stat ace rate gem fan cast

Step V : uncut omit input era ace stat rate gem fan cast

As per the rules followed in the above steps, find out in each of the following questions the appropriate step for the given input.

Q-3)   Step II of an input is : 76 ask 12 32 begin over join 42. How many more steps will be required to complete the rearrangement ?

(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

Thus 6 – 2 = 4 more steps will be required.
