Input-Output Test

(Q.1-5): Here it is case of arrangement. The logic is: the words get arranged in alphabetical order. Whereas the numbers get arranged in descending order. Numbers occupy odd places in the final steps while words occupy even positions. When any element gets arranged the previous elements occupying that position shifts one place towards right.
Input: 9 13 about tariff 24 call 29 even
Step I: 29 9 13 about tariff 24 call even
Step II: 29 about 9 13 tariff 24 call even
Step III: 29 about 24 9 13 tariff call even
Step IV: 29 about 24 call 9 13 tariff even

Step II: 37 desk 34 garden 5 father victory 17
Step III: 37 desk 34 father garden 5 victory 17
Step IV: 37 desk 34 father 17 garden 5 victory
Since all the elements of the input are fully arranged in Step IV, this is the last step of the given input.

(Q.1-5): Here it is case of arrangement. The logic is: the words get arranged in alphabetical order. Whereas the numbers get arranged in descending order. Numbers occupy odd places in the final steps while words occupy even positions. When any element gets arranged the previous elements occupying that position shifts one place towards right.
Step I: 59 bead tenure father 38 11 ultimate 24
Step II: 59 bead 38 tenure father 11 ultimate 24
Step III:59 bead 38 father tenure 11 ultimate 24

Since it is a case of arrangement, we can’t obtain previous steps with certainty.

Input: 24 12 entry sand butter 51 32 carry
Step I: 51 24 12 entry sand butter 32 carry
Step II: 51 butter 24 12 entry sand 32 carry
Step III: 51 butter 32 24 12 entry sand carry

Since it is a case of arrangement, therefore previous steps or input can’t be determined with certainty.

(Q.6-10): An intuitive look at the input and the steps makes it clear that it is a case of arrangement. The input is a combination of words and numbers. Words get arranged according to reverse order of alphabetical arrangement whereas numbers get arranged in ascending order.
In step I, ‘over’ occupies the first place from the left end and the other elements are pushed one place rightward. Similarly, in step II, ‘26’ occupies the second place from the left end and the other elements are pushed one place rightward. Thus, alternate arranging of words and numbers finally gives the last step in which the odd places from the left are occupied by words and the even places are occupied by numbers.
Step III: take 17 mind game 29 73 18 loud
Step IV: take 17 mind 18 game 29 73 loud
Step V: take 17 mind 18 loud game 29 73
Step VI: take 17 mind 18 loud 29 game 73
Hence, step VI is the last step. Therefore, three more steps are required to complete the sequence.

Previous steps can’t be determined.

Since it is a case of ‘Arrangement’, previous steps can’t be obtained with certainty.

Q. (16-20): In the given arrangement the first and the second places are occupied by words; the third and the fourth by numbers; the fifth and the sixth by words; and the seventh and the eighth by numbers.

We can’t move backward.

(Q.31-37): From the last step it is clear that there are two alternating series of numbers: One in descending order and the other in ascending order. When we go through input to step I, we find that the largest no. becomes the first and remaining numbers shift rightward. In the next step the smallest no. becomes the second and the rest shift rightward. These two steps continue alternately untill the two alternate series are formed.
