Input-Output for IBPS PO/Clerk/SO/SEBI/Canara Bank 2018
Directions (Q. 1-5): Study the following information to answer the given questions.
A word and number arrangement machine when given an input line of words and numbers rearranges them following a particular rule. The following is an illustration of input and rearrangement.
Input: cool 17 2 fog 4 morning 16 wet 14 36 dense
Step I: wet 4 cool 17 2 fog morning 16 14 36 dense
Step II: wet 4 morning 16 cool 17 2 fog 14 36 dense
Step III: wet 4 morning 16 fog 36 cool 17 2 14 dense
Step IV: wet 4 morning 16 fog 36 dense 2 cool 17 14
Step V: wet 4 morning 16 fog 36 dense 2 cool 14 17
Step V is the last step for this input.
As per the rules followed in the above steps, find out in each of the following questions the steps for the input given below.
Input: chilled 64 86 noise 25 wind ground 31 just 81 thunder 54
1. Which of the following will be the last step of the rearrangement?
1) IV
2) V
3) VI
4) VII
5) None of these
2. Which of the following is at 6th position from the right in step IV?
1) 81
2) ground
3) 31
4) just
5) None of these
3. Which of the following would be step V?
1) wind 25 thunder 64 noise 81 just 31 ground 54 chilled 86
2) wind 25 thunder 64 noise just 31 81 ground 54 chilled 86
3) wind 25 thunder 64 just 81 noise 31 ground chilled 54 86
4) wind 25 thunder 64 just 81 31 ground noise chilled 54 86
5) None of these
4. Which step number would be the following output?
wind 25 thunder 64 noise 81 chilled 86 ground 31 just 54
1) II
2) III
3) IV
4) V
5) There will be no such step
5. In step IV of the rearrangement, if ‘just’ is related to ‘86’ and ‘25’ is is related to ‘noise’ in a certain way, which of the following would ‘chilled’ be related to, following the same pattern?
1) 31
2) ground
3) 54
4) 86
5) None of these
Answers:
(1-5) : The word and number arrangement machine rearranges one word and one number in each step. It rearranges words in reverse alphabetical order. It first rearranges those numbers which are perfect squares in ascending order, then the other numbers, again in ascending order only.
