Reasoning Practice Quiz for IBPS Clerk (Set - 4)
Directions (1 – 5): Study the given information and answer the
questions:
A word and number arrangement machine when given an
input line of words and numbers rearranges them following a particular rule in
each step. The following is an illustration of an input and rearrangement.
Input: they 68 also 59 called 76 for 33
greater 46 strength 91
Step
I: also
they 68 59 called 76 for greater 46 strength 91 34
Step
II: called also they 68 76 for greater 46 strength
91 34 60
Step
III: for
called also they 68 76 greater 46 strength 34 60 92
Step
IV: greater
for called also they 68 76 strength 34 60 92 45
Step
V: strength greater for called also they 76 34 60
92 45 67
Step
VI: they strength greater for called also 34 60
92 45 67 75
And Step VI is the last step of the rearrangement of
the above input.
As per the rules followed in the above steps, find
out in each of the following questions the appropriate step for the given
input.
Input: because 56

Solutions:
(1 –
5): The logic is as follows
1) For words arrangement- In each word we have to
see the first letter and then the first letter which is lowest among all
letters of given word according to English dictionary arranges first to left.
For example word- act (a is the first letter and also lowest among all the
first letter of given word). So “act” arranges first to left and this process
is continued in further step.
2) For number arrangement- Numbers are arranged
according to following condition. In first step lowest odd number arranges
first to right. And this process is continued in further step until all the odd
number is arranged in third step. In fourth step lowest even number is to be
arranged. And this process is continued in further step until all the even
number are arranged (Each odd number is added by one (+1) while they are
arranged and each even number is subtracted by one (-1) while they are
arranged).
