Reasoning Directions (Q. 1-5): Study the given information and answer the following questions: When a word and number arrangement machine is given an input line of words and numbers, it arranges them following a particular rule. The following is an illustration of input and its rearrangement. (All the numbers are two−digit numbers.) Input: hearing 18 integrity 50 xenon 89 glow 33 century 81 23 goal. Step I: glow hearing 18 integrity 50 xenon 33 century 8123 goal 89 Step II: glow goal hearing 18 integrity 50 xenon 33 century 23 81 89 Step III: glow goal xenon hearing 18 integrity 33 century 23 50 81 89 Step IV: glow goal xenon century hearing 18 integrity 23 33 50 81 89 Step V: glow goal xenon century hearing 18 integrity 23 33 50 81 89 Step VI: glow goal xenon century hearing integrity 18 23 33 50 81 89 Step VI is the last step of the above arrangement as the intended arrangement is obtained. As per the rules followed in the above steps, find out the appropriate steps for the given input. Input: 19 numerology 48 global 88 xylem 25 telling 79 59 fabricate torcher 1.

Reasoning test is appropriately based on formulas and methods. You should have learned basic formulas, tables and reasoning shortcuts to solve a question in less time. It also helps you to solve mathematical problems in an easy way. If you are not familiar with shortcuts to answer a question, it will consume your most of the time in the calculation.
