Q1. | Directions : Study the following information to answer the given questions. A word arrangement machine when given an input line of words, rearranges them following a particular rule in each step. The following is an illustration of the input and the steps of rearrangement. Input : going but for crept te light sir Step I : crept going but for te light sir Step II: crept going light but for te sir Step III: crept going light but for sir te (Step III is the last step for this input) As per the rules followed in the above steps, find out in the given questions the appropriate step for the given input.
If the V step of an input is ‘more pure soft cat not so sir at’, what will be the II step ? |
| 1) | at so more pure cat not soft sir |
2) | more pure soft so sir cat at not |
| 3) | more pure soft cat so sir at not |
4) | more so sir soft pure cat at not |
| 5) | Cannot be determined |
Answer : Cannot be determined
Explanation : The words are arranged according to the number of letters they have, one at a time.
The word with the maximum number of letters is put first. If two words have the same number of letter, we go for alphabetical arrangement.
We can’t move backward.

A word and number arrangement machine when given an input line of words and numbers rearranges them following a particular rule. The following is an illustration of input and the rearrangement.
Input : why is 25 bigger than 14 but smaller than 32
Step I : than 14 why is 25 bigger but smaller than 32
Step II : than 14 is 25 why bigger but smaller than 32
Step III : than 14 is 25 than 32 why bigger but smaller
Step IV : than 14 is 25 than 32 why smaller bigger but
Step V : than 14 is 25 than 32 why smaller but bigger

Input for the questions : any number less than 30 and more than 20 does not equal 40
Which word/number would be on 8th position from left side in step V ? |
| 1) | any |
2) | not |
| 3) | 40 |
4) | number |
| 5) | None of these |
Answer : not
Explanation : First of all the numbers and their preceding letters are arranged. The numbers are arranged in ascending order. Then, the words are arranged in alphabetical but in reverse order.
Input: any number less than 30 and more than 20 does not equal 40
Step I: than 20 any number less than 30 and more does not equal 40
Step II: than 20 than 30 any number less and more does not equal 40
Step III: than 20 than 30 equal 40 any number less and more does not
Step IV: than 20 than 30 equal 40 number any less and more does not
Step V: than 20 than 30 equal 40 number not any less and more does
Step VI: than 20 than 30 equal 40 number not more any less and does
Step VII: than 20 than 30 equal 40 number not more less any and does
Step VIII: than 20 than 30 equal 40 number not more less does any
and Step VIII is the last Step.
So, the word 'not' would be on 8th position from left in Step V.

Q10. | Directions : Study the following information carefully to answer the given questions:
A word and number arrangement machine when given an input line of words and numbers rearranges them following a particular rule. The following is an illustration of input and the rearrangement. (Central Bank of India PO-2010)
Input : why is 25 bigger than 14 but smaller than 32
Step I : than 14 why is 25 bigger but smaller than 32
Step II : than 14 is 25 why bigger but smaller than 32
Step III : than 14 is 25 than 32 why bigger but smaller
Step IV : than 14 is 25 than 32 why smaller bigger but
Step V : than 14 is 25 than 32 why smaller but bigger
Step V is the last step of the arrangement of the above input as the intended rearrangement is obtained. As per the rules followed in the above steps, indicate the answer in each of the following questions with respect to the appropriate step for the given input. If the input is : any number less than 30 and more than 20 does not equal 40
How many steps would be needed to complete the arrangement ?
|
| 1) | X |
2) | VIII |
| 3) | IX |
4) | VII |
| 5) | None of these |
Answer : VIII
Explanation : First of all the numbers and their preceding letters are arranged. The numbers are arranged in ascending order. Then, the words are arranged in alphabetical but in reverse order.
Input: any number less than 30 and more than 20 does not equal 40
Step I: than 20 any number less than 30 and more does not equal 40
Step II: than 20 than 30 any num-ber less and more does not equal 40
Step III: than 20 than 30 equal 40 any number less and more does not
Step IV: than 20 than 30 equal 40 number any less and more does not
Step V: than 20 than 30 equal 40 number not any less and more does
Step VI: than 20 than 30 equal 40 number not more any less and does
Step VII: than 20 than 30 equal 40 number not more less any and does
Step VIII: than 20 than 30 equal 40 number not more less does any
and Step VIII is the last Step
So, eight steps would be required to complete the arrangement.
