Q241. | 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.
Input : will he 1234 is 4268 then For the above input, which step will be the following arrangement? Arrangement : he is 42 it then 1234 68 will 1) III 2) VI 3) IV 4) V 5) None of these. |
| 1) | III |
2) | VI |
| 3) | IV |
4) | V |
| 5) | None of these |
Answer : V
Explanation : Words and numbers both arrange among themselves only. That is words can't take the place of numbers and vice versa.
For the arrangement of words, the basis is the no.of letters. That is the one with the least no. of letters interchanges with the word at the leftmost position. If the no. of letters is equal, we follow the alphabetical order.
For the arrangements of numbers, we have to put them in ascending order. That is the least number interchanges with the number at the leftmost position.
The change is made as and when we come across a word or a number, not necessarily alternately.
So,
" he is 42 it then 1234 68 will" will be the 'V' step.
