Even number +2, Odd number 2
Step 6: First Numbers in step 5 are taken in order and then written in order. Next numbers of first letter of
word are written from right end. Teaing T = 20, sampling S = 19, poining P = .
Step 7: Numbers from right end from step 6 are taken, their digits added and then obtained number squared. 2
2^2 = 4, 6 6^2 = 36, 16 + = so ^ = .
Step 8: Again numbers from right end are taken from step 7, and their digits added
Step 9: Numbers are added in pairs 13+9 = 22, 1+10 = 11, 7+4, 1+13, 9+4

Solution:
(1 5): Numbers get arranged on both ends in odd-numbered steps while words get arranged on the inner side
in even-numbered steps till a particular pattern is formed. In Step I, the largest no. goes on the left end and the

Solutions:
(1 5): When we see the each step, then we can find that there is both number and words are arranged in
each step.
a) For words arrangement- Words are arranged according to last letter of each word. We have to see the last
letter of each word. And then last letter of each word are arranged in descending order from left to right.
For exp- I o d fastest t is last lette a d also g eatest a o g all the last lette of ea h o ds hi h is gi e
i i put se ies. So o d fastest a a ged fi st to e t e e left a d this process is continued in further step.
b) For number arrangement- We have to see the unit digits of each number because the numbers are arranged
according to unit digit of each number. The unit digits are arranged according to descending order.
For exp- I gi e i put se ies, u e , the u it digit is hi h is g eatest a o g all the othe u it digits of
number which is given in input series. So , 39 is arranged first to extreme right and this process in continued in
further step.
