1. How many steps are required to complete the arrangement?
   6
   7
   8
   9
   10
   Option C
   Explanation:
   The smallest number is placed in end and first word according to alphabetical order is placed in the beginning.
   In next step,the largest number is placed in beginning and the last word in the end. Repeat these steps until a final arrangement is formed.
   In the next step, the numbers are written as it is and the numbers preceding the numerical representation of the last letter of the word is written in between them.
   In next step, the square of the difference of individual digits of numbers is written.This is final step of the given input.

   10 4 3
   Option C
   Explanation:
   The first step is found by taking the average of the first three numbers, then second three and then last three.
   The second step is found by adding the individual digits of each number.
   The third step is found by dividing the first number of step 2 by second number of same step and then dividing the second number of step 2 with third number of same step.
   The fourth step is found by multiplying both the numbers of step 3.
