The machine rearranges one word and one number in each step. First, it rearranges words starting with vowel in alphabetical order, and then it rearranges words starting with a consonant in reverse alphabetical order. For numbers, it first arranged prime numbers in ascending order, then composite numbers in ascending order.

Input : east 17 altitude 31 united 39 foods 23 14 in nest 33 come 11 rest.

Step I : altitude 11 east 17 31 united 39 food 23 14 in nest 33 come rest.

Step II:altitude 11 east 17 in 23 31 united 39 food 14 nest 33 come rest.

Step III:altitude 11 east 17 in 23 united 31 39 food 14 nest 33 come rest.

Step IV: altitude 11 east 17 in 23 united 31 rest 14 39 food nest 33 come.

Step V: altitude 11 east 17 in 23 united 31 rest 14 nest 33 39 food come.

Step VI: altitude 11 east 17 in 23 united 31 rest 14 nest 33 food 39 come.

From II

7. 3; From I - Mukesh’s rank = 44th from the bottom.

Raju’s rank = 44 + 12 = 56th from the bottom.

From top = 80 - 56 + 1 = 25th

From II - Roshan’s rank = 30th from bottom.

Raju’s rank = 30 - 8 = 22nd from bottom.

Raju’s rank from top = 80 + 1 - 22 = 59

8. 5; From I and II, amazing = vo

9. 5; From I - S - R - P and Q

So, I alone is not sufficient.

From II - S - P - Q and S is heaviest .

From I and II = S – R – P – Q
