In step-II the largest number is moved to left end and then the first word in reverse alphabetical order is moved to the right end. The same procedure is continued till all the letters and numbers get rearranged.

Step-VI:11 81 72 29 39 56 artist arrive arrest army arise arch

6). Answer: B)

There are six steps are required to complete the given arrangement. Hence, the last but one is step-V.

7). Answer: B)

There are two numbers between 29 and arrive in step-4.

Step-IV:11 81 72 ‘2956 arch 39 arise artistarrive’ arrest army.

8). Answer: C)

After interchanging, there are three elements between ‘29’ and ‘72’ in step-3.

Step-III:11 81 arise 5629 army arch 3972artist arrive arrest

9). Answer: C)

10). Answer: D)

Fifth to the right of ninth element from right end i.e. fourth element from the right end in step-V is, arrive.
