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 input and various steps of rearrangement. (All the numbers are two-digit numbers).
Input:
10 sea 25 57 41 rose giraffe 85 hot 32 lost 77 99 beard cost palm
Step I:
10 beard 25 57 41 rose giraffe 85 hot 32 lost 77 cost palm sea 99
Step II:
10 25 beard cost 57 41 giraffe hot 32 lost 77 palm rose sea 99
Step III:

Step IV:
10 25 32 41 beard cost giraffe hot lost palm rose sea 57 77 85 99

And Step IV is the last step of the rearrangement as the desired arrangement is obtained. As per rules followed in the above steps, find out in each of the questions the appropriate step for the given input.
Input : 31 11 win arm blanket zebra 24 81 chip team slip 62 55 dawn 91 78

 Which of the following represents the position of “slip” in the Step III?

Correct Answer: (4) Seventh from left
Solution:After careful analysis of the given input and various steps of rearrangement, it is evident that in  each step four elements (two words and two numbers) are rearranged. In the first step the lowest number is placed at the extreme left position while the highest number is placed at the extreme right position. Again, the word which comes first in the dictionary order is placed at the second position from left and the word which comes last is placed at the second position from the right. In the second step, the second lowest number is placed at the second position from the left and the second highest number is placed at the second position from the right. Again, the word which comes second in the dictionary order is placed at the fourth position from the left and the word which comes second last in the dictionary order is placed at the fourth position from the right. The same procedure is continued till all the words get arranged in the dictionary order after four numbers which are in ascending order. The remaining four numbers also get arranged in ascending order after the eight words.
