Directions (1-5): 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 in each step. The following is an illustration of input and rearrangement.
Input: 23 dust east 36 6 event 16 truth output 100 superior 12 power 4 jungle
Step I: dust 4 23 east 36 6 event 16 truth output 100 superior 12 power jungle
Step II: dust 4 east 6 23 36 event 16 truth output 100 superior 12 power jungle
Step III: dust 4 east 6 event 16 23 36 truth output 100 superior 12 power jungle
Step IV: dust 4 east 6 event 16 jungle 12 23 36 truth output 100 superior power
Step V: dust 4 east 6 event 16 jungle 12 output 36 23 truth 100 superior power
Step VI: dust 4 east 6 event 16 jungle 12 output 36 power 23 truth 100 superior
Step VII: dust 4 east 6 event 16 jungle 12 output 36 power 23 superior 100 truth
Step VII is the last step of the above input; as the desired arrangement is obtained. As per rules followed in the above steps, find out in each of the following questions the appropriate step for the given input.
Input: idiot 19 simple 121 bold 15 49 Justice 16 rat 64 3 feather time
Explanationi) The machine rearranges one word and one number in each step.
ii) the words are arranged in alphabetical order
iii) while for numbers, perfect square and non-perfect square come in each alternate step in ascending order starting from the number which is a perfect square.
Now lets take the arrangement given in the Question
Input: idiot 19 simple 121 bold 15 49 Justice 16 rat 64 3 feather time
Step I: bold 16 idiot 19 simple 121 15 49 Justice rat 64 3 feather time
Step II: bold 16 feather 3 idiot 19 simple 121 15 49 Justice rat 64 time
Step III: bold 16 feather 3 idiot 49 19 simple 121 15 Justice rat 64 time
Step IV: bold 16 feather 3 idiot 49 Justice 15 19 simple 121 rat 64 time
Step V: bold 16 feather 3 idiot 49 Justice 15 rat 64 19 simple 121 time
Step VI: bold 16 feather 3 idiot 49 Justice 15 rat 64 simple 19 121 time
Step VII: bold 16 feather 3 idiot 49 Justice 15 rat 64 simple 19 time 121
