CHAPTER 10MACHINE INPUT

Reasoning

Presented by : Saurabh Trivedi

In this chapter you are asked to read the process done by a machine. You have to analyze the arrangements and as per the analysis you have to sort out the next problems given below.

- Two types questions are asked from this chapter.

About Machine Input

Arrangement Shifting

About The Two Types

• In this type of questions arrangement is based on increasing or decreasing order of number and sequence of words, letter according to the alphabetical series. Etc.

Arrangement

• In this type of question all questions are based on interchanging position of elements.Shifting

Formats of Machine Input

Arrangement Shifting

Input : DEBACStep I : ADEBCStep II : ABDECStep III: ABCDE

This is the last step

Input : DEBACStep I : DEBCAStep II : EDBCAStep III: EDCBAStep III: EDCBA

And so on…

Examples on Arrangement

Q.1. Input - 23 65 21 39 48 56 45Step I - 21 23 65 39 48 56 45Step II -21 23 39 65 48 56 45Step III- 21 23 39 45 65 48 56Step IV -21 23 39 45 48 65 56Step V - 21 23 39 45 48 56 65

Example

Step V is the final step of the above arrangement.As per the above arrangement solve given

question.

Q.1. Input - 35 96 28 36 16 29 33How many steps will it take to complete the

rearrangement ?

That means the solution must be -

Input - 35 96 28 36 16 29 33

Step I - 16 35 96 28 36 29 33

Step II- 16 28 35 96 36 29 33

Step III - 16 28 29 35 96 36 33

Step IV - 16 28 29 33 35 96 36

Step V- 16 28 29 33 35 36 96

Step V will be the answer.

SOLUTION

Q.2. Input - Ram fell 26 35 In 62 23 well.

Step I - 62 Ram fell 26 35 In 23 well.

Step II - 62 fell Ram 26 35 In 23 well.

Step III - 62 fell 35 Ram 26 In 23 well.

Step IV- 62 fell 35 In Ram 26 23 well.

Step V - 62 fell 35 In 26 Ram 23 well.

Step Vth is the final step of the Input .

As per the above arrangement solve the following questions carefully.

Q.2. Input - Orange Banana 35 32 61 Axe Zoo 18 In.

How many steps will it take to complete the above arrangement ?

Example

Input - Orange Banana 35 32 61 Axe Zoo 18

Step I- 61 Orange Banana 35 32 Axe Zoo 18

Step II- 61 Axe Orange Banana 35 32 Zoo 18

Step III- 61 Axe 35 Orange Banana 32 Zoo 18

Step IV- 61 Axe 35 Banana Orange 32 Zoo 18

Step IV - 61 Axe 35 Banana 32 Orange Zoo 18

Step VI - 61 Axe 35 Banana 32 Orange 18 Zoo

Finally we focus that step VI is the last step of above arrangement.

Remember is step No. IV we found that the word Orange arrange itself.

SOLUTION

Q.3. Input - making 14 19 carefully is 13 10 good.

Step I - carefully making 14 is 13 10 good 19

Step II- carefully good making is 13 10 14 19

Step III - carefully good is making 10 13 14 19

Step III is the final step.

As per the previous arrangement solve the following question.

Q.3. Input - Book Sell US 35 28 16 please 29.

Example

In the final step of the arrangement It is clear that words are in alphabetical order from left side and numbers are in descending order from right side. And now if we focus on each step we can see that words are being arranged from the left side as well as numbers are being arranged from right side and both are arranged in each step simultaneously.

So, the new arrangement will be as follows:

Input - Book Sell US 35 28 16 please 29.

Step I - Book please sell us 28 16 29 35

Step II- Book please sell us 16 28 29 35

It becomes very easy to solve such types of problems if you are able to understand the arrangements of the input.Ø It is important to understand above arrangement to solve the question of machine input.Ø Mostly it can be easily understood by last step final output.Ø If we go directly towards the final step of an

input we find that all numbers/ words are arranged systematically.
