INPUT - OUTPUT
In such type of reasoning based question, you are
given a word and number arrangement. With each
subsequent operation, the arrangement of the words
and numbers changes following a particular pattern.
These operations are performed until a final
arrangement is reached or is performed in a loop.
You are required to identify the hidden pattern in the
rearrangement and apply it to the questions.
Following the above pattern, how many steps will
be required to complete the arrangement for the
below given input?
84 out sown even 35 54 around 46
Following the above pattern, how many steps will
be required to complete the arrangement for the
below given input?
84 out sown even 35 54 around 46
Example 1: Input: Cat Rail Snow Moon Fear
Step 1: Snow Cat Rail Moon Fear
Step 2: Snow Rail Cat Moon Fear
Step 3: Snow Rail Moon Cat Fear
Step 4: Snow Rail Moon Fear Cat
This is the final arrangement and STEP IV is the last step
for this input.
What will be the last step of the following input?
INPUT: Care Steel Brick Nap Bomb Cry
To understand the pattern, often it is sufficient to
look at the input, 1st, 2nd and final steps of the
arrangement.
Now, if we apply the same pattern rules to the
second input, we can immediately tell what the
output (final step after rearrangement) would be:
Input: Care Steel Brick Nap Bomb Cry
Output: Steel Nap Cry Care Brick Bomb
INPUT: Care Steel Brick Nap Bomb Cry
Step 1: Steel Care Brick Nap Bomb Cry
Step 2: Steel Nap Care Brick Bomb Cry
Step 3: Steel Nap Cry Care Brick Bomb
This is the final arrangement and STEP 3 is the
last step for this input.
Input: good more 63 39 28 for again 66
Step 1 : 66 good more 63 39 28 for again
Step 2 : 66 again good more 63 39 28 for
Step 3 : 66 again 63 good more 39 28 for
Step 4 : 66 again 63 for good more 39 28
Step 5 : 66 again 63 for 39 good more 28
Step 6 : 66 again 63 for 39 good 28 more
As per this rule answer the following questions.
Input: Chanakya Wind 23 43 56 Heir Beach 71
How many steps will be required to complete the rearrangement?
Input: Chanakya Wind 23 43 56 Heir Beach 71
Step 1 : 71 Chanakya Wind 23 43 56 Heir Beach
Step 2 : 71 Beach Chanakya Wind 23 43 56 Heir
Step 3 : 71 Beach 56 Chanakya Wind 23 43 Heir
Step 4 : 71 Beach 56 Chanakya 43 Wind 23 Heir
Step 5 : 71 Beach 56 Chanakya 43 Heir Wind 23
Step 6 : 71 Beach 56 Chanakya 43 Heir 23 Wind
Hence, there are six steps for this.

Solutions (6-10):
Step I: First digit of first column is multiplied by the 2nd digit of 4th column and 2nd digit of
1st column is multiplied by 1st digit of 4th column.
Similar operation is applied on the 2nd and 3rd column with 5th and 6th columns
respectively.
In step II: Addition of 1st digits of all the columns and then multiply by 2, similarly addition
of 2nd digits of all the Columns and then multiply by 2.
In step III: Square each digit in first and 2nd column and then add both the squared number
of each column of step II.
In step IV: Subtract 1st digit of 1st column with the 1st digit of 2nd column and similarly
subtract the 2nd digit of 1st column with 2nd digit of 2nd column of step III.

number in second block in step 2?
a. 64
b. 73
c. 72
d. 79
e. 15
Solutions(11-15)
Step 1: Add the digits within blocks. Resultant of 1st block is summed with the resultant of 2nd
block and obtained Sum is multiplied with smallest number among them. In the same way
resultant of 3rd block and 4th block is added, resultant number is multiplied with smallest
number among two and so on.
Example, consider 1st two blocks
23 and 73
Sum of digits of 23 = 5
Sum of digits of 73 = 10
Then adding both result = 5 + 10 = 15.
Multiplying with smallest number among them = 15 × 5 = 75. And So on.
Step 2: 1st digits of each block of step 1 is added to a get single block and the second digits of
each block is added to form a single number.
Step 3: Add within the blocks of step 2 and then multiply with 4.
Step 4: Add both block to obtained result to get single number.
