Solution (6-10):

Students let us understand the Logic behind this Question and let’s understand how to solve it. When we see the each step, then we can find that there is both number and words are arranged in each step.

1) For words arrangement- Words are arranged according to ascending order given in English dictionary. In first step the words which comes first according to English dictionary arranged first to extreme right. And in second step next word  are arranged to extreme left.

And this process is continued in further step.

2) For number arrangement- Number are arranged according to ascending order. In first step lowest number arranged in extreme left. And in second step next number is arranged in extreme right. And this process is continued in further step( Each odd number is added by two(+2) while they are arranged and two is subtracted by each even number(-2) while they are arranged).

   Input:  48 sweet 82 door 35 read 57 a unit 9 86 end

     Step I:  11 48 sweet 82 door 35 read 57 unit 86 end a
