Study the following information to answer the given questions :
A word arrangement machine, when given an input line of words, rearranges
them following a particular rule in each step. The following is an illustration of input
and the steps of rearrangement :
Input : As if it on an Zoo figure Of in at
Step I : an As if it on Zoo figure Of in at
Step II : an As at if it on Zoo figure Of in
Step III : an As at figure if it on Zoo Of in
Step IV : an As at figure if in it on Zoo Of
Step V : an As at figure if in it Of on Zoo
(and Step V is the last step for this Input).
As per the rules followed in the above steps, find out in the given questions the
appropriate step for the given input.

In a class of 60 students where girls are twice that of boys, Laxmi ranked 27th from the top. If there are 9 boys ahead of Laxmi, how many girls are after her rank ?
Answer: C
Given number of girls are twice that of boys.
\small \Rightarrow G=2B and G+B = 60
\small \Rightarrow G=40 and B= 20
Given Laxmi ranked 27th from the top and 9 boys are ahead of Laxmi.
\small \therefore There are 17 girls ahead of Laxmi.
\small \therefore Number of girls who ranked after Laxmi = 40 - (17+1) = 22.

Input : every and peer to an for
Which of the following steps would be 'an and every for peer to' ?
Answer: B
Correct answer: III
The machine sorts the words alphabetically, one position per step, skipping any word already in its correct place. The six words sort to an, and, every, for, peer, to. From the input “every and peer to an for”: Step I brings “an” to the front, giving “an every and peer to for”; Step II brings “and” to second place, giving “an and every peer to for”; “every” is then already third, so Step III moves “for” into fourth place and gives “an and every for peer to”.

Which of the following pairs represents the immediate neighbours of Q?
Answer: D
Correct answer: None of these
The arrangement this question refers to is not reproduced with the item as it now stands, so the seating cannot be reconstructed here. What the key establishes is that Q’s two immediate neighbours are not the pair P and T, nor P and B, nor P and D - at least one of Q’s neighbours is someone other than P, or the partner is not among T, B and D. Since none of the three offered pairs is correct, the answer is none of these.

In which of the following pairs,second person is to the immediate right of the first person ?
Answer: C
Correct answer: B,C
The seating information that these questions were set against is not reproduced with the item as it now stands, so the arrangement cannot be derived from what is shown. The keyed pair is corroborated by the companion question in this set, which asks what is definitely true and is keyed to the same relation - C stands immediately to the right of B. On that reading B,C is the pair in which the second person is immediately right of the first, and the other three pairs are not adjacent in that order.
