Directions (Q. 1-5): Study the given information carefully and answer the given questions.
When a word and number arrangement machine is given an input line of words and numbers, it arranges them following a particular rule. The following is an illustration of input and rearrangement. (All the numbers are two-digit numbers.)
Input: 30 overcome ado 67 18 lie so 85 74 come
Step I: admit 30 overcome 67 18 lie so 74 come 84
Step II: commit admit 30 overcome 67 18 lie so 84 73
Step III: limit commit admit 30 overcome 18 so 84 73 66
Step IV: overcommit limit commit admit 18 so 84 73 66 29
Step V: smit overcommit limit commit admit 84 73 66 29 17
And step V is the last step of the above arrangement as the intended output of the above arrangement is obtained. As per the rules followed in the given steps, find the appropriate steps for the given input.

11. Which of the following states does S like?
1) Telangana 2) Haryana 3) Odisha 4) Sikkim 5) Other than those given as options
Answers:
(1-5);
The machine rearranges a word and number in each step. The words come at the left end and are rearranged in alphabetical order on the left. While getting arranged the last letter is replaced by ‘mit’. The numbers come at the right end are rearranged in descending order from left to right after subtracting 1 from the original number, ie (85 – 1) = 84.
Input: 61 ox herb 33 86 intern sums 28 49 perk
Step I. hermit 61 ox 33 intern sums 28 49 perk 85
Step II. intermit hermit ox 33 sums 28 49 perk 85 60
Step III. omit intermit hermit 33 sums 28 perk 85 60 48
Step IV. permit omit intermit hermit sums 28 85 60 48 32
Step V. summit permit omit intermit hermit 85 60 48 32 27
1. 4; Third element from the left end is ‘hermit’ in step III. Thus, there are four elements between ‘hermit’ and ‘85’ in Step III.
2. 5
3. 5
4. 5; Fourth element from the right end in Step IV is ‘85’ and fourth element from the right end in Step V is ‘60’.
Difference = 85 – 60 = 25
5. 4; The fourth element from the right end in Step V is 60. Hence, ‘32’ does ‘not’ appear between ‘permit’ and ‘60’.
