MACHINE INPUT-OUTPUT (REASONING)

PRACTICE ASSIGNMENT

Directions (Q. 1-5): Study the following information and answer the given questions.
A word and number arrangement machine when given an input line of words and numbers, it rearranges them following a particular rule in each step. The following is an illustration of input and rearrangement. (All the numbers are two digit numbers)
Input: jar eight ti ll 31 68 73 if aft er 98 16 25 on
Step I: aft er jar eight ti ll 31 68 73 if 98 25 on 16
Step II: aft er eight jar ti ll 31 68 73 if 98 on 25 16
Step III: aft er eight if jar ti ll 68 73 98 on 31 25 16
Step IV: aft er eight if jar on ti ll 73 98 68 31 25 16
Step V: aft er eight if jar on ti ll 98 73 68 31 25 16

As per the rearrangement rules followed by machine in the above steps, answer the question asked on the input given below:
Input: Site grid 19 53 22 call art main 35 66 fi ll 93.
1. In which step the following output would be obtained?
    art call fi ll grid main site 93 66 53 35 22 19
    (a) II     (b) III    (c) V     (d) IV   (e) None of these

2.  What will be the position of ‘53’ in step IV?
    (a) Second from the right end  (b) Eight from the left end
    (c) Fifth from the right end     (d) Third from the right end  (e) None of these

3.  Which of the following is fourth from the left end in step III?
    (a) 53    (b) grid  (c) site    (d) fi ll  (e) None of these

4.  How many steps are needed to complete the arrangement?
    (a) V    (b) IV  (c) VII    (d) Cannot determined  (e) None of these

5.  Which of the following would be the final arrangement of the above input?
    (a) art call fi ll grid main 93 site 66 53 35 22 19
    (b) art call grid fi ll main site 93 66 53 35 22 19
    (c) art call fi ll grid main site 93 66 53 35 22 19
    (d) art call fi ll grid main site 93 66 53 35 19 22
    (e) None of these
