in even-numbered steps till a particular pattern is formed. In Step I, the largest no. goes on the left end and the
second largest on the right end. In step II, the first word in reverse alphabetical order (ie the last word in
reverse alphabetical order) comes on the left (just after the arranged number) and the second word in the
reverse alphabetical order goes on the right (just before the arranged number.
In Step III, it is now the turn of numbers. The third largest goes on the left and the fourth largest on the right.

Solutions:
(1 5): When we see the each step, then we can find that there is both number and words are arranged in
each step.
a) For words arrangement- Words are arranged according to last letter of each word. We have to see the last
letter of each word. And then last letter of each word are arranged in descending order from left to right.
For exp- I o d fastest t is last lette a d also g eatest a o g all the last lette of ea h o ds hi h is gi e
i i put se ies. So o d fastest a a ged fi st to e t e e left a d this process is continued in further step.
b) For number arrangement- We have to see the unit digits of each number because the numbers are arranged
according to unit digit of each number. The unit digits are arranged according to descending order.
For exp- I gi e i put se ies, u e , the u it digit is hi h is g eatest a o g all the othe u it digits of
number which is given in input series. So , 39 is arranged first to extreme right and this process in continued in
further step.
