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 word which comes first in the alphabetical order is moved to the extreme left position after deleting all the vowels while the highest number is moved to the extreme right position and it is replaced with the next prime number. In the second step, the word which comes second in the alphabetical or-der is moved to the extreme left position after deleting all the vowels while the second highest number is moved to the extreme right position and it is replaced with the next prime number. The same procedure is continued till all the words and numbers get rearranged.
Prime Numbers upto 100
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19,, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97
Input: neat bites 23 11 piles your 37 79 give 47
Step I: bts neat 23 11 piles your 37 give 47 83
Step II: gv bts neat 23 11 piles your 37 83 53
Step III: nt gv bts 23 11 piles your 83 53 41
Step IV: pls nt gv bts 11 your 83 53 41 29
Step V: yr pls nt gv bts 83 53 41 29 13
