Q240.

Directions : A word arrangement machine, when given a particular input, rearranges it following a particular rule. The following is the illustration of the input and steps of arrangement : Input : of 93 if 26 it eleven are 37 Step I : if 93 of 26 it eleven are 37 Step II : if 26 of 93 it eleven are 37 Step III : if 26 it 93 of eleven are 37 Step IV : if 26 it 37 of eleven are 93 The machine comes to a halt when the input is fully arranged as above. Now study the logic given above and answer the questions that follow. If step II of a given input is 'is are when 161 16 1674 did does' then which of the following is step V of the given input ?

1)	is are did 16 161 1674 does when	2)	is are did 16 161 1674 when does
3)	is are did 161 16 1674 when does	4)	Data Inadequate
5)	None of these
