Question
If 23, 142, 348, 96, 400, 200, 410 is the second step of
an input, which of the following steps will be 23, 96, 142, 348, 200, 400, 410? A word arrangement machine,when given a particular input, rearranges it following a particularrule. The following is the illustration of the input and the steps of arrangement: Input: 87, 321, 293, 47, 176, 409, 215 Step I: 47, 321, 293, 87, 176, 409, 215 Step II: 47, 321, 293, 87, 176, 215, 409 Step III: 47, 87, 293, 321, 176, 215, 409 Step IV: 47, 87, 293, 215, 176, 321, 409 Step V: 47, 87, 176, 215, 293, 321, 409Solution
Here the rule followed is: numbers are getting arranged in ascending order. The smallest no. interchanges with the first position. Then the largest no. interchanges with the last position. Next, the second smallest no. interchanges with the second position. And so on Step II: 23 142 348 96 400 200 410 Step III: 23 96 348 142 400 200 410 Step IV: 23 96 348 142 200 400 410 Step V: 23 96 142 348 200 400 410
