Solutions -After careful analysis of the input and various steps of
rearrangement, it is evident that in each step one word and one number are
rearranged. The word which comes last in the dictionary order is moved to the
extreme left position while the highest number is moved to the extreme right
position in the Step I. In the next step, the word which comes at the second
position in dictionary order is placed at the second position from the left and
the second highest number is placed at the second position from the right. Such
procedure is continued till all the words get rearranged in dictionary order
but in reverse manner and all the numbers get rearranged after the words in
ascending order.
