A number arrangement machine when given an input of numbers, rearranges them following a particular rule in each step. The following is an illustration of input and steps of rearrangement.
Input: 48 245 182 26 99 542 378 297
Step I: 542 48 245 182 26 99 378 297
Step II: 542 26 48 245 182 99 378 297
Step III: 542 26 378 48 245 182 99 297
Step IV: 542 26 378 48 297 245 182 99
Step V: 542 26 378 48 297 99 245 182
This is the final arrangement and step V is the last step for this input.
6)What will the fourth step for an input whose second step is given below?
Step : 765 42 183 289 542 65 110 350
A) 765 42 542 350 183 289 65 110
B) 765 42 542 65 110 183 289 350
C) 765 42 65 542 183 289 110 350
D) Cannot be determined
E) 765 42 542 65 183 289 110 350
Answer E) 765 42 542 65 183 289 110 350
In the arrangement first a largest number is taken, then in next step the smallest number is taken
So in step 2 of the input the first number if largest of all, 2nd number is smallest of all, then in step 3 the third number will be the largest of the remaining
Step II : 765 42 183 289 542 65 110 350
Step III : 765 42 542 183 289 65 110 350
Step IV : 765 42 542 65 183 289 110 350
7)What should be the third step of the following input?
Input: 239 123 58 361 495 37
A) 495 37 361 123 239 58
B) 495 37 58 361 123 239
C) 495 37 58 123 361 239
D) 495 37 361 58 239 123
E) 495 37 361 239 123 58

Answer E) 495 37 361 239 123 58
Input: 239 123 58 361 495 37
Step I: 495 239 123 58 361 37
Step II: 495 37 239 123 58 361
Step III: 495 37 361 239 123 58
8)How many steps will be required to get the final output from the following input?
Input: 39 88 162 450 386 72 29

Answer C) Five
Input: 39 88 162 450 386 72 29
Step I: 450 39 88 162 386 72 29
Step II: 450 29 39 88 162 386 72
Step III: 450 29 386 39 88 162 72
39 is already in place, so
Step IV: 450 29 386 39 162 88 72
Step V: 450 29 386 39 162 72 88 – last step
9)What should be the last step of the following input?
Input: 158 279 348 28 326 236
A) 348 28 326 158 279 236
B) 348 28 326 236 158 279
C) 348 28 236 158 279 326
D) 348 28 158 326 236 279

AnswerA) 348 28 326 158 279 236
Input: 158 279 348 28 326 236
For this there is no need to write all steps
Last step is 1st number largest, 2nd number smallest, 3rd number 2nd largest, and so on
So last step – 348 28 326 158 279 236
