A word and number arrangement machine when given an input line of words and numbers rearranges them following a particular rule in each step. The following is an illustration of input and rearrangement.
Input: zone pine 38 40 gate 62 flow 61 goat loose 50 44
Step I: loose 3 zone pine 40 gate 62 flow 61 goat 50 44
Step II: loose 3 zone 20 pine gate 62 flow 61 goat 50 44
Step III: loose 3 zone 20 goat 28 pine gate 62 flow 61 50
Step IV: loose 3 zone 20 goat 28 flow 35 pine gate 62 61
Step V: loose 3 zone 20 goat 28 flow 35 pine 47 gate 62
Step VI: loose 3 zone 20 goat 28 flow 35 pine 47 gate 56
Step VI is the last step, find out in each of the rules followed in the above steps, find out in each of the following questions the appropriate step for the given input.

Students let us understand the Logic behind this Question and lets understand how to solve it. As a first step lets first understand the logic behind the Output. If you will see the final output you will observe the following:
i) The machine rearranges only one word and one number in each step.
ii) The word with the highest value of sum of its vowels is arranged at the leftmost end. For example loose(O=15+15+5=35). If two words have the same value of the sum of its vowels then they are arranged in alphabetical order.
iii) The number are arranged in each step in increasing order in such a way that the difference of the numerical value of the sum of the vowels in the word and that number is arranged in each step after that word. For example If 2 is arranged after boot, boot=30 – 2 = 28
Now lets take the arrangement given in the Question
What will be the position of ‘mess’ in the last but one step?
(a) Seventh from the left
(b) Second from the right
(c) Sixth from the left
(d) Fifth from the left
(e) None of these

This coding decoding question is based on the latest pattern. In this question, following logic are used to decode the code,
(i) If the total number of letters in the word is even then the first letter of the code will be @. On the other hand, if the total number of letters in the word is odd, then the first letter of the code will be #.
(ii) If the total number of letters in the word is even than the middle alphabet which is smaller in alphabetical series among them is used as the second letter of the code.
If the total number of letters in the word is odd than the middle alphabet is used as the second letter of the code.
(iii) The numerical value of the code represents the place value of the greater letter among first and last letter in alphabetical series.
