What is the difference between the fifth element from the left end in Step II and the fifth element from the right end in Step IV ?

Correct Answer: (1) 17
Solution:After careful analysis of the given input and various steps of rearrangement it is evident that two elements one word and one number are rearranged in each step. In the first step, the highest number is moved to the extreme right position after deducting two from it while the word that comes last in the alphabetical series is moved to the second position from the right end after replacing the second and the third letters with the alphabet 'u'. In the second step. the second highest number is moved to the extreme right position after deducting two from it and the word which comes second last in the alphabetical series is moved to the second position from the right end after replacing the second and the third letters with the alphabet 'u'. The similar procedure is continued till all the numbers and words get rearranged.
