Directions (1 – 5): An arrangement machine, when given an input line of numbers/words, rearranges them following a particular rule in each step. The following is an illustration of the input and the steps of arrangement :
Input : down delusion 87 21 pat ignorance 56 35 fight 25
Step I : ignorance down delusion 87 21 pat 56 35 fight 25
Step II : ignorance delusion down 87 21 pat 56 35 fight 25
Step III : ignorance delusion fight down 87 21 bat 56 35 25
Step IV : ignorance delusion fight down pat 87 21 56 35 25
Step V : ignorance delusion fight down pat 87 56 21 35 25
Step VI : ignorance delusion fight down pat 87 56 35 21 25
Step VII : ignorance delusion fight down pat 87 56 35 25 21
Since the numbers/words are already arranged, the machine stops after this step. Otherwise the machine may carry on its logic until the numbers get fully arranged. Study the logic and answer the questions that follow:
- For the input “right forest sat moon 21 costliest infrastructure 43 27 48 76” which step number is the following output:
infrastructure costliest forest right moon sat 43 21 27 48 76
A) III
B) IV
C) V
D) There is no such step
E) None of theseD) There is no such step
Explanation:
Infrastructure – 14 letters, costliest – 9 letters, forest – 6 letters, right – 5 letters, moon – 4 letters, sat – 3 letters
Input : right forest sat moon 21 costliest infrastructure 43 27 48 76
Step I : infrastructure right forest sat moon 21 costliest 43 27 48 76
Step II : infrastructure costliest right forest sat moon 21 43 27 48 76
Step III : infrastructure costliest forest right sat moon 21 43 27 48 76
Step IV : infrastructure costliest forest right moon sat 21 43 27 48 76

D) VIII
E) None of theseD) VIII
Explanation:
Step V : infrastructure costliest forest right moon sat 76 21 43 27 48
Step VI : infrastructure costliest forest right moon sat 76 48 21 43 27
Step VII : infrastructure costliest forest right moon sat 76 48 43 21 27
Step VIII : infrastructure costliest forest right moon sat 76 48 43 27 21 - In step IV of above input, if ‘costliest’ is related to ‘43’ and ‘forest’ is related to ‘27’, then to which of the following is ‘48’ related to?

B) right
C) sat
D) infrastructure
E) Cannot be determinedB) right
Explanation:

A) determined highest cannot crown star 56 34 47 66
B) determined highest cannot crown 34 star 56 47 66
C) determined highest cannot crown star 66 34 56 47
D) determined highest cannot crown star 34 56 47 66
E) None of theseD) determined highest cannot crown star 34 56 47 66
Explanation:
Input: crown 34 star 56 47 cannot determined 66 highest
Step I: determined crown 34 star 56 47 cannot 66 highest
Step II: determined highest crown 34 star 56 47 cannot 66
Step III: determined highest cannot crown 34 star 56 47 66
Step IV: determined highest cannot crown star 34 56 47 66 - Which of the following is last step of above input?
A) determined highest cannot star crown 66 56 47 34
B) determined highest cannot crown star 34 56 47 66
C) determined highest cannot crown star 66 56 47 34
D) determined highest crown cannot star 34 56 47 66
E) determined highest crown cannot star 56 47 66 34C) determined highest cannot crown star 66 56 47 34
Explanation:
There is no need to write all steps in this. - Statements: All cups are bottles. Some bottles are jugs. No jug is plate. Some plates are tables.
