Question: 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 : but going for crept the light sir
Step I : crept but going for the light sir
Step II : crept going light but for the sir
Step III : crept going light but for sir the
Step III is the last step for this input.
As per the rules followed in the above steps, find out the appropriate step for the given input:
Input : more fight cats cough sough acts idea
Which of the following steps would be the last step for this input?
Options:
A) IIIB) IVC) VD) VIE) VII
Solution: C) V – The illustration provided in the question contains an error where two words are rearranged in a single step (Step II), skipping an intermediate step. This makes the demonstrated rule inconsistent and ambiguous. Every step, TWO words are placed simultaneously, one from the remaining unplaced words goes to the next position from the left, and one goes to the next position from the right (like closing in from both ends), arranged alphabetically. Based on the correctly derived rule, the answer to this question is V .
