Directions (Q. 46-50): Study the following in- formation to answer the given questions.
A word arrangement machine when given an input line of words, rearranges them following a particular rule in each step. The following is an illustration of the input and the steps of rearrangement.
Input : going but for crept te light sir
Step I : crept going but for te light sir
Step II: crept going light but for te sir
Step III: crept going light but for sir te
(Step III is the last step for this input)
As per the rules followed in the above steps, find out in the given questions the appropriate step for the given input,
Q46. Which of the following will be the third step for this input?

Input: the in car as he may me.
1) car the in as he may me
2) car may the as in he me
3) car as may he the in me
4) car may the in as he me
5) None of these
Q47. If the second step of an input is ‘clever remand window sales batch tiger never’ which of the following will be its sixth step?

Q.No. (20-26): From the last step it is clear that there are two alternating series of numbers: One in descending order and the other in ascending order.
When we go through input to step 1, we find that the largest no. becomes the first and remaining numbers shift rightward. In the next step the smallest no. becomes the second and the rest shift rightward. These two steps continue alternately until the two alternate series are formed.

Q.No. (27-31): The machine operates as follows:
Ist batch to 2nd batch: Second and fifth words interchange places.
2nd to 3rd : The middle two words inter- change places.
3rd to 4th: First and last words interchange places.
4th to 5th: The middle words move to the extreme positions on their respective sides while the outer words move inwards.
Hereafter, the process Is repeated, i.e.
5th to 6th: Same as 1 st to 2nd
6th to 7th: Same as 2nd to 3rd
Let us now make our job easy by going in for digital representation. We assign numbers 1 to 6 to the words in the first batch: who-1, nut - 2, cream - 3, page - 4, for - 5, table - 6. Thus, our table becomes:

Q.No. (32-38): Here the rule followed is:
Step I : The smallest number becomes first and the remaining numbers shift one position rightward. (In case the first number is small then the next number just larger than it will become second and the rest will shift one position rightward and so on.)
Step II : The largest number among given numbers becomes last and the remaining numbers shift one position leftward.
(In case the largest number is first from the right end, the second largest number re- places the second number from the right end, and so on.)
These steps are repeated alternately till all the numbers get arranged in ascending order and that will be the last step for that particular input.

Q.No. (39-45): Here the rule followed is: numbers are getting arranged in descending order.
The largest of the given numbers interchanges its place with the first number. (In case the largest number is already arranged, the second largest is interchanged with the number next to the largest no., and so on until the numbers are arranged in descending order.

Q.No. (46-50): The words are arranged according to the number of letters they have, one at a time. The word with the maximum number of letters is put first. If two words have the same
number of letter, we go for alphabetical arrangement.
