Input-output are asked questions in various competitive examinations like banking recruitment exams
and exams for management entrance. They are not very tough stuff but take a good deal of time to be
solved or sometimes students do not take attempt to solve them because of time consuming impression of
such type of questions. But proper understanding of the subject makes you believe that such problems are
not as tough and time consuming as they seem.

Question :- How many steps are required to complete the below input.
Input: 89 blind 32 goal house 61 12 joy
“When a word and number arrangement machine is given an input line words and number, it arranges
them following a particular rule. The following is the illustration of input and re-arrangement”
Input is given to you and it is simplified in the subsequent steps. By simplified we mean they’ve applied a
certain logic, if you know questions of series, the series in made on a certain logic and by analysing that
logic you get to know the next value in that series.Similarly, in questions of Machine Input Output, you have
to analyse the given Input and its subsequent steps and understand or find out the logic behind it. It means
your job is to identify the logic through which the input-output machine has transformed the input to output
and you have to apply the same logic in the subsequent step of questions asked. And the last step is the final
output.
Logic: Here in each step a number and a word are arranged in pairs of Vowel+ Prime and Consonant
+Composite. The words starting with vowels are arranged from left to right along with a prime number is
ascending order. The words starting with a consonant are arranged from left to right (on the right end) in
the next step along with a composite number is ascending order.
Example:
1. A word arrangement machine when given an input of words, rearranges them following a particular
rule in each step. The following is an illustration of input and steps rearrangement.
This is the final arrangement and STEP IV is the last step for this input.
What should be the last step of the following input?
INPUT: Coal Steer Brief Nap Blast Cry
Explanation: The given rearrangement has a pattern that can be followed from the input step to the final
step, which is Step IV. Observe carefully. The rearrangement follows the following patterns:
arrangement.
Now if we apply the same pattern rules to the second input given, we can immediately tell what the output
(final step after rearrangement) would be:
INPUT: Coal Steer Brief Nap Blast Cry
OUTPUT: Steer Nap Cry Coal Brief Blast
TYPES OF QUESTIONS
This was a simple example involving only words. Some questions come with only numbers. Others come
as a mix of words and numbers. More complicated ones may even involve symbols. But for the sake of the
Bank PO exams, it is important to concentrate on the questions that are mixes of words and numbers.
Based on the logic used behind the rearrangement, we can classify these types of questions as:
A. Rearrangements based on Ordering:
Words are arranged alphabetically (forward or reversed) as per their positions in the dictionary while
numbers are arranged in ascending/descending order.
Both words and numbers could be arranged individually or simultaneously in each step. The
rearrangement can start from the leftmost side or the rightmost side of the sentence and sometimes even
simultaneously from both the ends. The rearrangement could either start with a word or a number.
Whatever the finer details may be, in these kinds of rearrangements, one or two words/numbers are
shifted at a time, without changing the order of the remaining words/numbers.
Here, Step III is the final step and the rearrangement is done simultaneously from both front and back
ends. The rearrangements are done thusly: the numbers are arranged in ascending order one by one from
the left end, with the next biggest number being added to the right of the previous number. The words are
arranged in descending order one by one from the right end, with the last word in the dictionary going to
the rightmost end, and earlier entries in the dictionary getting added in subsequent steps to the left of that
word.
B. Rearrangements based on Interchanging the Positions of Words and Numbers:
Specific positions are selected and the positions of only those words/numbers are exchanged. The
positions of all others remain unchanged.
Step VII is the final step of the input. The underlined words are used to indicate the words that will be
interchanged in the each subsequent step.
C. Rearrangements based on Mathematical operations:
Some mathematical operation (like squaring the number, adding the digits within the number, some
common number added/subtracted/multiplied/divided to each number etc.) is applied on the numbers in
each step.
Step III is the final step. Clearly in this example, the unit’s digits of the left most and right most number
are simultaneously being subtracted from the numbers themselves. This is followed by the number to the
right of the left most one, and to the left of the right most one.
TIPS ABOUT NUMBER OF STEPS
1. If there are ‘n’ words/digits in the input then at most ‘n-1’ steps are required to rearrange it
completely.
2. Number of words/digits arranged until the present step is greater than or equal to the present step
number.
3. If input is not given we cannot determine the previous step from given step number or we cannot
determine input from given step number.
HOW TO SOLVE
These questions can be solved by the following methods:
1. We can solve these questions by writing each step of the given input on paper.
Remember – do not write the complete word each time; to save time, just write the first letter or however
many letters of each word you need to uniquely identify it.
Example:
Input: 32 pure girl beautiful 49 63 78 random rickshaw
Label: 32 P G B 49 63 78 Ra Ri
2. We could go for a shorter method where instead of writing each step again and again we number each
word/number of the input as per their position in each step. So if the arrangement follows a “number-
descending-from-left-and-letters-ascending-from-right-alternately-pattern”, we need to number these as
follows:
Clearly the pattern is, ‘send the biggest number left’. In the next step, send the highest word right.
Continue the pattern till the input is completely rearranged.
To minimize the steps, let us look at all the elements on the basis of their positions. We only need to see
the first two steps and the output to figure out which number/word goes where. The order in which the
element gets rearranged is the number each element gets.
INPUT: 32 pure girl beautiful 49 63 78 rickshaw random
LABEL: 7 6 8 9 5 3 1 2 4
Since ‘78’ is the first element that will be rearranged according to the pattern, it will be labeled 1. The
next element to be rearranged will be ‘rickshaw’. So it will be labeled 2. The next element to be
rearranged will be the next highest number. So without even writing out the remaining steps you could
label ‘63’ as 3. And similarly ‘random’ would become 4. And so on and so forth.
While rearranging by this method, keep the following four cases in mind:
Case 1: When we go in single direction, i.e. words/digits are arranged either from left to right or right to
left. In this case, auto filling of words/digits could take place because some numbers/words arrange
themselves. So how do we go about numbering our elements in this case? For convenience’s sake, let us
think of all the elements being arranged left to right.
1. Number each word/number in the manner shown above as per their order of arrangement in
accordance with the pattern depicted in the question. Think of it as a step-by-step process. After each
numbering, you need to stop and check.
2. After you identify the first element, number it (1). Then identify the second element. Check all the
elements to its left. Have you numbered all of them yet? If yes, then number this one (1a). If not, then
number it (2). Then identify the third element. Check all the elements to its left. Have you numbered all
of them yet? If yes, then this does not get a new step number. If no, then it gets a fresh step number.
And the process continues. Here is an illustration.
Here, 6a and 6b are not given further values at the time of filling, as all elements to the left of these two
have been filled already. Hence, these two entities are arranged automatically in step 6. In addition, step
6 is the last step of the input, so six steps are required to complete the arrangement.
NOTE: Now whichever step is asked in the question, take the part of the solution up to the required step
number to get the answer. Arrange the numbered elements according to their labels, and shift the
remaining to the right, while leaving their order unchanged.
NOTE: If the rearrangement is to be done from the right, the process of checking would be reversed. Now
instead of checking to the left, you would have to check to the right to see if there are any unnumbered
elements.
Case 2: When we go in both directions, with elements filling in from the inside, auto filling could still take
place. So we need to take that into account when numbering. Based on which direction the element goes,
it is numbered with an L (left) or an R (right) attached to it. When considering items labeled with L, check
to see if there are any unlabeled elements to its left and when considering items labeled with R, check to
see if there are any unlabeled elements to its right.
Input: The rearrangement clearly happens from both directions simultaneously, but from the inside. The
fact that the rearrangement is happening from the inside makes a huge difference. The numbers are
arranged in ascending order from the left and the words are arranged in descending order of their
appearance in the dictionary, but from the right.
Here is how you go about numbering these elements. Note that underlined elements represent those ones
to the left of the ‘L’ elements that you haven’t numbered yet. And the italicized elements represent the
ones to the right of the ‘R’ elements that you haven’t numbered yet.
Now, it is easy to answer the question based on the numbering. The answer is three steps.
Q. Following the above pattern, what will be the second step after rearrangement for the below given
input?
goat out 34 59 set 75 peon 28
Solution:
arranged to the left and right of the previously arranged digit and word simultaneously and so on.
Therefore, arrangement is from left to left + right to right.
Here L1, L2 so on are used to represent left side and R1, R2 so on to represent right side.
Hence step 5 of the input is
Step 5: 87 51 35 28 14 beat ink new show when
So 5 from the right side is ‘beat’
th
NOTE: In this case 5 from right is not R5, but R1. So be careful while answering this type of question.
th
Count backwards from the highest number label of that step in such cases.
Case 4: In mixed form i.e. both case 1 and 2 are used in one input then both the rules are used for each
side
NOTE: If pairing of words and digits/words and words/ digits and digits is observed i.e. both are placed
simultaneously in each step and in case if one is auto filled & other is not then no step is skipped.
As per the rules followed in the steps given above, find out in each of the following questions the
appropriate step for the given input.
