एक अंक व्यवस्थापन यंत्र, संख्यांच्या इनपुट ला प्रत्येक चरणात विशिष्ट नियमानुसार पुनर्व्यवस्थित करते. खाली इनपुट आणि पुनर्व्यवस्थापनाचे चरण यांचे एक उदाहरण दिलेले आहे : इनपुट - 38, 28, 3, 7, 30, 5 चरण I - 3, 38, 28, 7, 30, 5 चरण II - 3, 28, 38, 7, 30, 5 चरण III - 3, 28, 5, 38, 7, 30 चरण IV - 3, 28, 5, 30, 38, 7 चरण V - 3, 28, 5, 30, 7, 38 चरण V या इनपुटचा अंतीम चरण आहे. जर 11, 58, 45, 17, 20, 38 हा एखाद्या इनपुटाचा प्रथम चरण असेल तर, 11, 45, 38, 20, 58, 17 हा, त्या इनपुटाचा कोणता चरण असेल? A number arrangement machine rearranges the input of numbers in each step according to some rule; the example of which is given as follows : In put - 38, 28, 3, 7, 30, 5 Step I - 3, 38, 28, 7, 30, 5 Step II - 3, 28, 38, 7, 30, 5 Step III - 3, 28, 5, 38, 7, 30 Step IV - 3, 28, 5, 30, 38, 7 Step V - 3, 28, 5, 30, 7, 38 Step V is the last step of this input. If 11, 58, 45, 17, 20, 38 is the first step of some input then, 11, 45, 38, 20, 58, 17 will be which step of that input?

1)IV✓ Correct
2)III
3)V
4)II

The machine arrangement shifts numbers step by step following a specific sorting rule. Tracking the exact movement sequence for the given first step leads to Step IV as the match.

पुढील मांडणीतील रिकामी चौकट भरण्यासाठी तर्कसंगत संख्या दिलेल्या पर्यायातून निवडा. Select the logical number for empty box in the following arrangement.

1)31
2)39
3)29
4)33✓ Correct

By observing the mathematical pattern or difference between the numbers in the given arrangement, option 4 (33) logically fits into the empty box.
