Q. Which of the following terms is fifth from the left end in the final step?

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Input Output- 1 - Question 9

Logic applied for the input: world 45 is 24 going 93 79 hope

1)  The rearrangement is taking place from left to right.

2)  The rearrangement is taking place for one word and one number at a time alternately.

In the following arrangement, words in each step are arranged in the reverse alphabetical order and the numbers are also arranged in descending order.

Applying the same logic, we get the following steps for the below input:

Input: order 52 take 69 strive 57 38 year

Step I: year order 52 take 69 strive 57 38

Step II: year 69 order 52 take strive 57 38

Step III: year 69 take order 52 strive 57 38

Step IV: year 69 take 57 order 52 strive 38

Step V: year 69 take 57 strive 52 order 38

Hence, Step 5 is the last step.

Hence, “strive” is fifth from the left end in the final step.

Detailed Solution for MCQ: Input Output- 1 - Question 15

Input: Peacock 3 Hen Toucan 6 7 Crow 4

The arrangement takes place from left to right and one element at a time.

Words are arranged as per English dictionary order and numbers are arranged as per the number of letters in a word.

Step 1. Crow Peacock 3 Hen Toucan 6 7 4

Word (Crow) whose first letter (C = 3) has the smallest place value shifts to the extreme left end.

Step 2. Crow 4 Peacock 3 Hen Toucan 6 7

The number of letters in the word Crow is 4 and the number ‘4’ shifts to the left end.

Step 3. Crow 4 Hen Peacock 3 Toucan 6 7

Again, word (Hen) whose first letter (H = 8) has the second smallest place value shifts to the left end.

Step 4. Crow 4 Hen 3 Peacock Toucan 6 7

The number of letters in the word Hen is 3 and the number ‘3’ shifts to the left end.

Step 5. Crow 4 Hen 3 Peacock 7 Toucan 6

Next word Peacock must shift, but according to the arrangement, it comes automatically after 3.

Peacock has 7 letters in it so the number 7 will now shift to the left end.

And step 5 is the final reconfiguration of the above input.

So, in short, the word whose first letter has the smallest place value shifts to the left end and the number of letters in the word shifts to the left end in the next step. This process goes on until the final step is obtained.

Input: Zebra 8 Elephant Rabbit 5 9 Crocodile 6

Step 1: Crocodile Zebra 8 Elephant Rabbit 5 9 6

Step 2: Crocodile 9 Zebra 8 Elephant Rabbit 5 6

Step 3: Crocodile 9 Elephant Zebra 8 Rabbit 5 6

Step 4: Crocodile 9 Elephant 8 Zebra Rabbit 5 6

Step 5: Crocodile 9 Elephant 8 Rabbit Zebra 5 6

Step 6: Crocodile 9 Elephant 8 Rabbit 6 Zebra 5

Clearly, 6 steps would be required to reconfigure the following inputs.

Hence, ‘six’  steps are required.
