A word arrangement machine, when given a particular input, rearranges it following a particular rule. The following is the illustration of the input and the steps of arrangement:
Input: Pull the cover and then push into
Step I: Pull the then and cover push into
Step II: then the pull into push cover and
Step III: into pull the then and cover push
Step IV: into pull and then the cover push
and so on.
As per the rule followed in the above steps, find out
the appropriate step for the given input or vice versa in the following questions. If Step IV of an input is ‘We can’t measure the depth without scale’, what would be the 7th step?
Options
- Ascale we the measure can’t depth without
- Bthe we scale without depth can’t measure
- Cwithout we scale the can’t measure depth
- Dthe we depth without scale can’t measure
Correct answer
A. scale we the measure can’t depth without
Step-by-step solution
Here the rule followed is:
Input to step I: The third and fifth words get interchanged among themselves.
Step I to Step II: The group of first three words gets reversed and so does the group of last four.
Step II to Step III: The group of first four words gets reversed and so does the group of last three.
Step III to Step IV: Same as input to step I.
For convenience, if we assign nos. to each word of the input as pull-1, the-2, cover-3, and-4, then-5, push-6 and into-7, then we get,
