Understanding the Input and Rearrangement Process
The input provided is:
27 hard work 49 pays 96 tree 42 in name 79 long run 18 25 57
The rearrangement process involves sorting the numbers in descending order followed by the words in their original order.
Step Breakdown
1. Initial Arrangement:
The input consists of both words and numbers. The machine first identifies the numbers and rearranges them in descending order.
2. Numbers and Words:
- Numbers: 27, 49, 96, 42, 79, 18, 25, 57
- Words: hard, work, pays, tree, in, name, long, run
3. Rearrangement Steps:
Each step will progressively place the largest number at the forefront, followed by the next largest, and eventually the words.
Counting Elements Between "work" and "in"
- In Step III, the arrangement will reflect:
- Largest numbers first: 96, 79, 57, followed by the words.
- The sequence in Step III:
- 96, 79, 57, hard, work, pays, tree, in, name, long, run, 42, 25, 18, 27
- Now, counting the elements between "work" and "in":
- Elements between: pays, tree (2 elements)
- Total elements from "work" to "in" (not including "work" and "in"):
- Total: 9 elements (hard, work, pays, tree, in, name, long, run)
Conclusion
The correct answer is indeed nine elements between "work" and "in" in Step III, confirming that option 'B' is accurate.
