85   16   36   04   19   97   63   09
Step I :- 97   85   16   36   04   19   63   09
Step II :- 97   85   63   16   36   04   19   09
Step III :- 97   85   63   36   16   04   19   09
Step IV :- 97   85   63   36   19   16   04   09
Step V :- 97   85   63   36   19   16   09   04

 (for the given input step V is the last step).

Which of the following will be the last step for the given input ?
Input
:- 03   31   43   22   11   09

Option:

B. V
C. VI
D. Cannot be determined
E. None of these
Answer: B . V

Justification:

Clearly, in the given arrangement, the numbers have been arranged in descending order in a sequence, altering the position of only one number in each step

Input :- 03   31   43   22   11   09
Step I :- 43   03   31   22   11   09
Step II :- 43   31   03   22   11   09
Step III :- 43   31   22   03   11   09
Step IV :- 43   31   22   11   03   09
Step V :- 43   31   22   11   09   03
