Directions (6-10): Read the following information carefully and answer the questions given below.
A word and number arrangement machine when given an input lie of words and numbers, rearranges them following a particular rule in each step. The following is an illustration of input and rearrangement.

 Input: by now 25 72 sight 37 15 home;       

Step I  : sight by now 25 72 37 15 home;

Step II  : sight 15 by now 25 72 37 home;     

Step III : sight 15 now by 25 72 37 home;

Step IV : sight 15 now 25 by 72 37 home;     

Step V  : sight 15 now 25 home by 72 37;

Step VI : sight 15 now 25 home 37 by 72.

And Step VI is the last step of the rearrangement. 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: ‘ask for me 49 32 64 and 24’

6.    Which of the following will be Step III for the above input?

       (1) me 24 ask for 49 32 64 and    

(2) me 24 for ask 49 32 64 and

(3) me 24 for 32 ask 49 64 and

      (4) me 24 for 32 ask 49 and 64   

(5) None of these

Input : ‘go now and come 72 34 57 25’

7.    How many steps will be required to complete the rearrangement?

      (1) Four                             (2) Five

(3) Six                               (4) Seven       

(5) None of these

Step III of an input is :‘yellow 12 tire 92 84 36 goal life’

8.    How many more steps will be required to complete the rearrangement?

      (1) Three                           (2) Four

(3) Five                              (4) Six            

(5) None of these

Step IV of an input is: ‘now 17 mother 23 can know 47 31’

9.    How many more steps will be required to complete the rearrangement?

      (1) Two                              (2) Three

(3) Four                             (4) Five           

(5) None of these

Step II of an input is: ‘victory 19 22 34 age bear high 24’.

10.  Which of the following will be Step VII?

      (1) There will be no Step VII        

(2) victory 19 high 22 34 age bear 24

(3) victory 19 high 22 bear 34 age 24

(4) victory 19 high 22 bear 24 34 age      

(5) victory 19 high 22 bear 24 age 34
