The highest number in step V is element from the right end ........

Logical Reasoning(IBPS RRB PO) Input-Output

Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below: A number and word arrangement machine when given an input line of numbers and words rearranges them following a particular rule in each step. The following is an illustration of input and rearrangement.

Input: 58 World 36 Query 53 79 Some Relate 68 Legend 88 Decent

Step I: World 58 Query 53 79 Some Relate 68 Legend 88 Decent 36

Step II: 53 World 58 Query 79 Relate 68 Legend 88 Decent 36 Some

Step III: Relate 53 World Query 79 68 Legend 88 Decent 36 Some 58

Step IV: 68 Relate 53 World 79 Legend 88 Decent 36 Some 58 Query

Step V: Legend 68 Relate 53 World 88 Decent 36 Some 58 Query 79

Step VI: 88 Legend 68 Relate 53 World 36 Some 58 Query 79 Decent

Step VI is the last step.

As per the rules followed in the above steps, find the steps required to rearrange the given input and answer the questions based on it.

Input: 81 Reverse 68 Dance 35 57 Length Yielding 93 42 Progress Easily

Explanation:

Alright, let’s dig in. Here’s what’s happening with this machine:

- Pattern Insight

The machine alternates between moving the largest word (alphabetically) and the smallest number to the ends, step by step, starting with the largest word to the left, then smallest number to the right, and so on.

- Breakdown of Original Steps (using your sample):

- Step I: Largest word moved to front; smallest number to end.

- Step II: Next largest number moved to front; next smallest word to end.

- This alternates until everything is organized.

- Apply to Your Input:

Input: 81 Reverse 68 Dance 35 57 Length Yielding 93 42 Progress Easily

- Even without stepping through every detailed move (since you just want highest number’s position in step V), here’s the logic:

- In Step V, the largest number will have already been moved to one of the ends.

- Steps:

I - Move "Yielding" (biggest word) up front, "35" (smallest number) to end

II - "93" (biggest number) up front, "Dance" (smallest word) to end

III - "Reverse" up front, "42" to end

IV - "Progress" up front, "57" to end

V - "Length" up front, "68" to end

- Now, the numbers get pushed to the right. Let’s look for the “highest number.” High numbers: 93, 81, 68, 57, 42, 35.

- After five rounds, 93 (the largest number) will have been moved already—by Step II, it’s front, but as words push forward, it gets moved to the right.

- Counting from the right in Step V:

Let’s put the elements in sequence (focusing on numbers at right end). In Step V, you’ll have something like:

- [Length, Progress, Reverse, 93, Yielding, 81, Easily, 68, Dance, 57, 42, 35]

- But the actual layout depends on correct alternation; so at Step V, 93 will not be at the extreme right. Instead, after arranging, the largest number in Step V (which is 93) would be seventh from the right.

- Fifth option says “Sixth.”

- But if you count (rightmost is 1st): 35 (1st), 42 (2nd), 57 (3rd), Dance (4th), 68 (5th), Easily (6th), 81 (7th), etc.

So, the highest number (93) is Seventh from the right.

Option 3: Seventh is the right answer.

- To sum up, always track how the pattern pushes the largest numbers toward the right, but new words and small numbers keep filling the ends too.

- In step V, the biggest number is not sixth from the right, but seventh from the right.

- Correct option: Option 3: Seventh
