Step I: and to 68 59 cart 76 fix grow 46 smart 91 34
Step II: cart and to 68 76 fix grow 46 smart 91 34 60
Step III: fix cart and to 68 76 grow 46 smart 34 60 92
Step IV: grow fix cart and to 68 76 smart 34 60 92 45
Step V: smart grow fix cart and to 76 34 60 92 45 67
Step VI: to smart grow fix cart and 34 60 92 45 67 75
And Step VI is the last step of the rearrangement of the above input.
As per the rules followed in the above steps, find out in each of the following questions the appropriate step for the given input.
Input: bold 56 such 29 act 24 put 17 end 32 risk 33
1) For words arrangement- In each word we have to see the first letter and then the first letter which is lowest among all letters of given word according to English dictionary arranges first to left. For example word- act (a is the first letter and also lowest among all the first letter of given word). So “act” arranges first to left and this process is continued in further step.
2) For number arrangement– Numbers are arranged according to following condition. In first step lowest odd number arranges first to right. And this process is continued in further step until all the odd number is arranged in third step. In fourth step lowest even number is to be arranged. And this process is continued in further step until all the even number are arranged (Each odd number is added by one (+1) while they are arranged and each even number is subtracted by one (-1) while they are arranged).
