Question

How many steps will be required to get the final output from the following input? Input: 544, 653, 325, 688, 461, 231, 857

Q: Answer-How many steps will be required to get the final output from the following input? Input: 544, 653, 3...

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. Input 544, 653, 325, 688, 461, 231, 857 13 14 10 22 11 6 20 Step I 6 14 10 22 11 13 20 Step II 6 10 14 22 11 13 20 Step III 6 10 11 22 14 13 20 Step IV 6 10 11 13 14 22 20 Step V 6 10 11 13 14 20 22 Hence, 231, 325, 461, 544, 653, 857, 688

Directions : A number arrangement machine,when given a particular input, rearranges it following a particular rule. The following is the illustration of the input and the steps of arrangement: Input: 245, 316, 436, 519, 868, 710, 689 Step I: 710, 316, 436, 519, 868, 245, 689 Step II: 710, 316, 245, 519, 868, 436, 689 Step III: 710, 316, 245, 436, 868, 519, 689 Step IV: 710, 316, 245, 436, 519, 868, 689 Step IV is the last step for the given input.
