    In this type of question backward progress is not a right approach as the number whose sum is smallest interchange its position, and there is only one shift per step hence given any step we can not determine the input.

    Correct Option: D

Direction: Answer the questions based on the following information.
A wood arrangement machine, when given a particular input, rearranges it following a particular rule. Following is the illustration of the input and the steps of arrangement.

Input : She was interested in doing art film

Step 1: art she was interested in doing film
Step 2: art was she interested in doing film
Step 3: art was in she interested doing film
Step 4: art was in film she interested doing
Step 5: art was in film doing she interested
Step 5 is the last step of the given input. Now study the logic and rules followed in the above steps, find out appropriate step for the question given below for the given input.

  1. Which of the following will be the last step for the input given below?
    Input: he is going out to search air

    Observe the given pattern closely and we will find that neither the number of alphabets nor the 1st letter plays the main role but it is the last letter that plays the important role, and we can observe that last letter is in reversing order.

    Correct Option: B

    Observe the given pattern closely and we will find that neither the number of alphabets nor the 1st letter plays the main role but it is the last letter that plays the important role, and we can observe that last letter is in reversing order,

    The last step can be written directly following the pattern discussed above. So for the input “He is going out to search air”, the last step would be “out is air to search going he”.



  1. How many steps will be required to get the final output from the following input?

    Observe the given pattern closely and we will find that neither the number of alphabets nor the 1st letter plays the main role but it is the last letter that plays the important role, and we can observe that last letter is in reversing order.

    Correct Option: D

    Observe the given pattern closely and we will find that neither the number of alphabets nor the 1st letter plays the main role but it is the last letter that plays the important role, and we can observe that last letter is in reversing order.

    Here the steps will be ::
    Input : Father needs to check on the boy
    Step I: Boy father needs to check on the
    Step II: Boy needs father to check on the
    Step III: boy needs father to on the check.

    Step III will be the final output of the given input. Hence machine will need three steps to make it.

    after a close look we can observe that it is the sum of the digits that plays main role here rather than the number itself.
    From this given data we can observe the pattern that the number that has lowest sum of digits shifts its position towards left and this process continues.


    Correct Option: C

    Observe the given pattern closely and we will find that neither the number of alphabets nor the 1st letter plays the main role but it is the last letter that plays the important role, and we can observe that last letter is in reversing order.

    Correct Option: D

    Observe the given pattern closely and we will find that neither the number of alphabets nor the 1st letter plays the main role but it is the last letter that plays the important role, and we can observe that last letter is in reversing order.

    This is the second step. So none of these answer is true.
