Reasoning: Machine Input-Output Questions — Set 44

Directions: Study the following information and answer the question given below it:

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 input and rearrangement.

Input : quickly fire 15 28 39 war 18 yellow
Step I : yellow quickly fire 15 28 39 war 18
Step II : yellow 15 quickly fire 28 39 war 18
Step III : yellow 15 war quickly fire 28 39 18
Step IV : yellow 15 war 18 quickly fire 28 39
Step V : yellow 15 war 18 quickly 28 fire 39
And Step V is the step of the above input.

As per rules followed in the above steps, find out in each of the following questions the appropriate.
