Detailed Solution for MCQ: Input Output- 1 - Question 7

The logic applied for the input:

Left side 84 28 36 64 42 74 Right side

Step I - Step V: All the numbers are arranged in ascending order from the left end, one in each step.

84 28 36 64 42 74 - here 28 is the smallest number and therefore, it is placed at the left end in step I. 84 will move towards the right by one place. ⇒ Step I: 28 84 36 64 42 74
Similarly, 36 will be placed after 28 in step II and 84 will move towards the right again. ⇒ Step II: 28 36 84 64 42 74.
This process is continued until all the numbers are arranged in ascending order.

Step VI: All numbers are divided by 2.

28 ÷ 2 = 14, 36 ÷ 2 = 18, 42 ÷ 2 = 21, and so on.

Similarly, applying the same logic in the given question input:

Input: 56 68 94 86 48 76

Step I: 48 56 68 94 86 76

Here, 48 is the smallest number and hence it is placed first on the left side.

A.
Six
B.
Four
C.
Seven
D.
Five

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.
