Answers:
(1-4):
The machine rearranges words and numbers in such a way that numbers are arranged from left side with the smallest number coming first and move subsequently so that in the last step numbers are arranged in descending order. While the words are arranged from right side as they appear in English alphabetical order.
Input: 84 why sit 14 32 not best ink feet 51 27 vain 68 92
Step I: 14 84 why sit 32 not ink feet 51 27 vain 68 92 best
Step II: 27 14 84 why sit 32 not ink 51 vain 68 92 best feet.
Step III: 32 27 14 84 why sit not 51 vain 68 92 best feet ink
Step IV: 51 32 27 14 84 why sit vain 68 92 best feet ink not
Step V: 68 51 32 27 14 84 why vain 92 best feet ink not sit
Step VI: 84 51 32 27 14 why 92 best feet ink not sit vain
Step VII: 92 84 51 32 27 14 best feet ink not sit vain why
  • 1. 5
  • 2. 4
  • 3. 2; 27, 14 and best
  • 4. 3;  Step IV: 51 32 27 14 84 why sit vain 68 92 best feet ink not The position of ‘why’ in this step is sixth from the left end.

(5-9):
The machine rearranges words and numbers in such a way that numbers are arranged from right side and words are arranged from left side. While numbers are arranged in ascending order, words are arranged in reverse alphabetical order.
Input: one 15 and 90 two 88 12 make 18 so 21 thus 56 nears.
Step I: two one 15 and 90 88 make 18 so 21 thus 56 near 12
Step II: two thus one and 90 88 make 18 so 21 56 near 12 15
Step III: two thus so one and 90 88 make 21 56 near 12 15 18
Step IV: two thus so one near and 90 88 make 56 12 15 18 21
Step V: two thus so one near make and 90 88 12 15 18 21 56
Step VI: two thus so one near make and 90 12 15 18 21 56 88
Step VII: two thus so one near make and 12 15 18 21 56 88 90
  • 5. 3
  • 6. 2; Sixth step is the last but one. There are four elements between ‘make’ and ‘18’. The element are : and, 90, 12 and 15
  • 7. 4
  • 8. 2; Step V: two thus so one near make and 90 88 12 15 18 21 56 Thus,Seventh from the left is ‘and’.
  • 9. 5; Step VI: two thus so one near make and 90 12 15 18 21 56 88. Thus fifth from the right is 15
