Q10. In step II, ‘L’ is related to ‘I’ and ‘I’ is related to ‘18’. In the same way ‘success’ is related to?
(a) towards
(b) make
(c) result 
(d) 25
(e) 9

Solution(6-10): 
From the given input and final step it is understood that , In the first step smallest number is placed to the right side and for the second step smallest number is shifted to the second last place and for further step number arrangement is done from right to left. And words are arranged in descending order according to the words in dictionary. But in each step, word with largest alphabet is preceded by the alphabet whose numerical value is same to the number which is arranged in same step from right side.  
For example:-

 And same process is continued till last step.
  
Input: 12 18 make result 9 25 towards success
Step I: I towards 12 18 make result 25 success 9
Step II: L success I towards 18 make result 25 9 12

(a) at
(b) 28 
(c) here 
(d) fun
(e) none of these

Solution (11-15):
The word and number arrangement machine rearranges the input with the logic that in step I, it shifts the largest number to the left-most place and the last word coming in English alphabetical series to the rightmost place. In step II, it shifts the smallest number to the leftmost place and the next word (in reverse alphabetical order) to the rightmost. In step III 2nd largest number is shifted to the leftmost place and so on.
Input: fun 89 at the 28 16 base camp 35 53 here 68
Step I: 89 fun at 28 16 base camp 35 53 here 68 the
Step II: 16 89 fun at 28 base camp 35 53 68 the here
Step III: 68 16 89 at 28 base camp 35 53 the here fun
Step IV: 28 68 16 89 at base 35 53 the here fun camp
Step V: 53 28 68 16 89 at 35 the here fun camp base
Step VI: 35 53 28 68 16 89 the here fun camp base at
