Q11. | Directions : Study the following information carefully to answer the given questions:
A word and number arrangement machine when given an input line of words and numbers rearranges them following a particular rule. The following is an illustration of input and the rearrangement.
Input : why is 25 bigger than 14 but smaller than 32
Step I : than 14 why is 25 bigger but smaller than 32
Step II : than 14 is 25 why bigger but smaller than 32
Step III : than 14 is 25 than 32 why bigger but smaller
Step IV : than 14 is 25 than 32 why smaller bigger but
Step V : than 14 is 25 than 32 why smaller but bigger
Step V is the last step of the arrangement of the above input as the intended rearrangement is obtained. As per the rules followed in the above steps, indicate the answer in each of the following questions with respect to the appropriate step for the given input.
Input : any number less than 30 and more than 20 does not equal 40
Which step number would be the following output ?
than 20 any number less than 30 and more does not equal 40
|
| 1) | III |
2) | IV |
| 3) | V |
4) | VI |
| 5) | None of these |
Answer : None of these
Explanation : First of all the numbers and their preceding letters are arranged. The numbers are arranged in ascending order. Then, the words are arranged in alphabetical but in reverse order.
Input: any number less than 30 and more than 20 does not equal 40
Step I: than 20 any number less than 30 and more does not equal 40
Step II: than 20 than 30 any num-ber less and more does not equal 40
Step III: than 20 than 30 equal 40 any number less and more does not
Step IV: than 20 than 30 equal 40 number any less and more does not
Step V: than 20 than 30 equal 40 number not any less and more does
Step VI: than 20 than 30 equal 40 number not more any less and does
Step VII: than 20 than 30 equal 40 number not more less any and does
Step VIII: than 20 than 30 equal 40 number not more less does any
and Step VIII is the last Step
So, it is Step I.

Q13. | Directions : A word arrangement machine, when given a particular input, rearranges it following a particular rule. The following is the illustration of the input and steps of arrangement : Input : of 93 if 26 it eleven are 37 Step I : if 93 of 26 it eleven are 37 Step II : if 26 of 93 it eleven are 37 Step III : if 26 it 93 of eleven are 37 Step IV : if 26 it 37 of eleven are 93 The machine comes to a halt when the input is fully arranged as above.
Now study the logic given above and answer the questions that follow.
Input : will he 1234 is 4268 then For the above input, which step will be the following arrangement? Arrangement : he is 42 it then 1234 68 will 1) III 2) VI 3) IV 4) V 5) None of these. |
| 1) | III |
2) | VI |
| 3) | IV |
4) | V |
| 5) | None of these |
Answer : V
Explanation : Words and numbers both arrange among themselves only. That is words can't take the place of numbers and vice versa.
For the arrangement of words, the basis is the no.of letters. That is the one with the least no. of letters interchanges with the word at the leftmost position. If the no. of letters is equal, we follow the alphabetical order.
For the arrangements of numbers, we have to put them in ascending order. That is the least number interchanges with the number at the leftmost position.
The change is made as and when we come across a word or a number, not necessarily alternately.
So,
" he is 42 it then 1234 68 will" will be the 'V' step.

If Step VII of an input is "go nol bole fula run quu bue", what is Step V of that input ? |
| 1) | bole quu run go fula bue nol |
2) | fula nol run quu bue bole go |
| 3) | run nol quu bue go fula bole |
4) | quu bue nol run bole go fula |
| 5) | None of these |
Answer : None of these
Explanation : From Input to Step I : The first and last words interchange places, the third word becomes the fourth and vice versa, while the remaining words remain in their places.
From Step I to Step II : The first word becomes the sixth, the second becomes the first, the third becomes the second, the fourth becomes the fifth and vice versa, the sixth becomes the last and the last becomes the third.
The two steps go on alternatively.
For the sake of convenience, let us assign numbers to the words; cry -1, an-2, fire -3, pul-4, tee-5, anes -6 and see -7.
So, the answer is 5 ; quu bue nol run bole go fula.
