A number arrangement machine when given an input of words/numbers, rearranges them following a particular rule in each step. The following is an illustration of input and steps of rearrangement.

Input: 29 oat 45 lap ice 18 21 ace 37 van 91 sun
Step 1: ace 29 oat 45 lap ice 18 37 van 91 sun 21
Step 2: ace ice 29 oat 45 lap 37 van 91 sun 21 18
Step 3: ace ice oat 29 45 lap 37 van sun 21 18 91
Step 4: ace ice oat lap 45 37 van sun 21 18 91 29
Step 5: ace ice oat lap sun 37 van 21 18 91 29 45
Step 6: ace ice oat lap sun van 21 18 91 29 45 37
Step 7: 22 19 12 15 9 1 21 18 91 29 45 37
Step 8: 4 10 3 6 9 1 3 9 10 11 9 10

This is the final arrangement and step 8 is the last step for this input.

   Option C
   Words are arranged according to starting letter – first vowels, then consonants
   For numbers: Multiply the digits of numbers and arrange in increasing order and then arrange in steps
   like in given example: numbers are  21, 18, 91, 29, 45, 37
   Multiply the digits 2, 8, 9, 18, 20, 21. Arrange according to this order from back
   Step 7: number corresponding to first letter of word. ace(1) ice(9) oat(15) lap(12) sun(19) van(22)
   Put in back order: 22 19 12 15 9 and 1
   Step 8: add the digits of numbers.
   Input: fat pin 94 uni 41 46 oak 13 eat hut 28 93
   Step 1: eat fat pin 94 uni 41 46 oak hut 28 93 13
   Step 2: eat oak fat pin 94 uni 46 hut 28 93 13 41
   Step 3: eat oak uni fat pin 94 46 hut 93 13 41 28
   Step 4: eat oak uni fat pin 94 hut 93 13 41 28 46
   Step 5: eat oak uni fat pin 94 hut 13 41 28 46 93
   Step 6: eat oak uni fat pin hut 13 41 28 46 93 94
   Step 7: 8 16 6 21 15 5 13 41 28 46 93 94
   Step 8: 8 7 6 3 6 5 4 5 10 10 12 13

A number arrangement machine when given an input of numbers/words, rearranges them following a particular rule in each step. The following is an illustration of input and steps of rearrangement.

Input: been laws mind need seat then they
Step 1: need been laws they mind seat then
Step 2: they need been then laws mind seat
Step 3: then they need seat been laws mind
Step 4: seat then they mind need been laws
Step 5: mind seat then laws they need been

   Option C
   Observe that input and step 7 is same.
   In steps 1 to 7:
   Fourth word is taken at beginning and last word at fourth place. In each step this is performed.
   Step 8: Addition of all numbers corresponding to letters in word. been = 2+5+5+14 = 26
   Step 9: All numbers arranged in ascending order
   Input: data high late paid plan risk what
   Step 1: paid data high what late plan risk
   Step 2: what paid data risk high late plan
   Step 3: risk what paid plan data high late
   Step 4: plan risk what late paid data high
   Step 5: late plan risk high what paid data
   Step 6: high late plan data risk what paid
   Step 7: data high late paid plan risk what
   Step 8: 26 32 38 30 43 57 52
   Step 9: 26 30 32 38 43 52 57
