Answers:
(1-5):
The machine rearranges a word and a number in each step. It rearranges the words in reverse alphabetical order from left to right while the square of number of letters present in the word are arranged on right end.
Input: human 121 complex 49 conflicts 36 review 25 operational 81
Step I. review human 121 complex 49 conflicts 25 operational 81 36
Step II. review operational human complex 49 conflicts 25 81 36 121
Step III. review operational human complex 49 conflicts 81 36 121 25
Step IV. review operational human conflicts complex 49 36 121 25 81
Step V. review operational human conflicts complex 36 121 25 81 49
- 2
- 4
- 3
- 1
- 1; review After rearrangement
Step V: complex conflicts human operational review 121 81 49 36 25
Hence, sixth from the right is review.
(6-10);
