Study the following information carefully and answer the given questions:
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 the input and the rearrangement which the machine follows. (All the numbers given in the arrangement are two digit numbers).
Input: gone over 35 69 test 72 park 27
Step I: 27 gone over 35 69 test 72 park
Step II: 27 test gone over 35 69 72 park
Step III: 27 test 35 gone over 69 72 park
Step IV: 27 test 35 park gone over 69 72
Step V: 27 test 35 park 69 gone over 72
Step VI: 27 test 35 park 69 over gone 73
Step VII: 27 test 35 park 69 over 72 gone
And Step VII is the last step of rearrangement of the above input as the desired arrangement is obtained.
As per the rules followed in the steps, find out in each of the following questions the appropriate step for the given input.
Input: 86 open shut door 31 49 always 45
How many steps will be required to complete the rearrangement?

Input: 86 open shut door 31 49 always 45
How many steps will be required to complete the rearrangement?
The correct option is B Six
In step I, the smallest number comes at the first place from left pushing rest of the line towards right. In Step II, the word coming last alphabetically comes at the second place from left pushing rest of the line towards right. In Step III, second smallest number comes at the third place from left pushing rest of the line towards right. In Step IV, the word coming second last alphabetically comes at the fourth position from left pushing the rest of line rightward. Thus, the numbers and words get arranged alternatively till the numbers are in ascending order and the words are in reverse alphabetical order.
Input: 36 open shut down 31 49 always 45
Step I : 31 86 open shut door 49 always 45
Step II : 31 shut 86 open door 49 always 45
Step III : 31 shut 45 86 open door 49 always
Step IV : 31 shut 45 open 86 door 49 always
Step V : 31 shut 45 open 49 86 door 49 always
Step VI : 31 shut 45 open 49 door 86 always
∴ Total steps = Six

Step VI : 31 shut 45 open 49 door 86 always
∴ Total steps = Six
