Input: Is 9 and 2 equal to 11.
Step I: Is 2 and 9 equal to 11.
Step II: Is 2 to 9 equal and 11.
Step III: Is 2 to 9 and equal 11.
Step IV: Is 2 to 9 and 11 equal.
This is the last step of this input. Study the logic and answer the questions that follow: For the input given below, five steps have been given, though not respectively. However, one of these is not the correct arrangement for any of the first five steps. The number of that option is your answer.
Input: Dial 24 10 57 4 to contact us
Options
- Ato 4 10 57 24 Dial contact us.
- Bto 4 us 57 24 Dial contact 10.
- Cto 24 10 57 4 Dial contact us.
- Dto 4 us 24 Dial 57 10 contact.
Correct answer
D. to 4 us 24 Dial 57 10 contact.
Step-by-step solution
Here the rule followed is:
A keen watch of last step will help in determining the logic. Words and numbers get arranged alternately. Word with less no. of letters precedes words with more letters and in case of words with equal no. of letters, arrangement occurs according to that in dictionary. Numbers are getting arranged in ascending order. The arrangement takes place in each step by interchanging. Input: Dial 2410574 to contact us.
Step I: to 2410574 Dial contact us. [Option 3]
Step II: to 4105724 Dial contact us. [Option 1]
Step III: to 4 us 5724 Dial contact 10. [Option 2]
Step IV: to 4 us 1024 Dial contact 57. [Option 5]
Step V: to 4 us 10 Dial 24 contact 57 .
Which is the last step.
