Q: Answer-If ‘655, 436, 764, 799, 977, 572, 333’ is the input, which of the following steps will be ‘333, 436,...

Here the rule followed is The sum of the digits is calculated. Then in step I, the number with lowest sum of its digits interchanges with the first number. If the first number has already the lowest sum of its digits then the number with second lowest sum of its digits interchanges with the second number. The process continues until the numbers get arranged in ascendingorder on the basis of their sum of digits.
