Reasoning Quiz for SBI PO|LIC AAO|IBPS – 132

Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below it:

An export processing unit has a computerised machine which generates six codes to distinguish products of each of the seven batches produced in a day. The machine is fed code for the first batch of each day. Based on that, the machine generates 6 codes by rearrangement of words for subsequent batches. Following is an illustration of generation of codes for some batches of a day.

Day’s first batch —who nut cream page for table.
Day’s second batch—who for cream page nut table.
Day’s third batch —who for page cream nut table.
Day’s fourth batch —table for page cream nut who.
Day’s fifth batch — page table for nut who cream.
Day’s sixth batch — page who for nut table cream.

and so on till seventh batch. Next day based on the same rule, new set of words will be introduced as given above:

1. If the seventh batch of the day is ‘from door no leaf glass but’, which of the following would be the first three words of the code of the third batch of that day?

Answer a) door leaf from…..
The machine operates as follows:
Ist batch to 2nd batch: Second and fifth words interchange places.
2nd to 3rd : The middle two words interchange places.
3rd to 4th: First and last words interchange places.
4th to 5th: The middle words move to the extreme positions on their respective sides while the outer words move inwards. Hereafter, the process Is repeated, i.e.
5th to 6th: Same as 1 st to 2nd
6th to 7th: Same as 2nd to 3rd
Let us now make our job easy by going in for digital representation. We assign numbers 1 to 6 to the words in the first batch: who-1, nut – 2, cream – 3, page – 4, for – 5, table – 6. Thus, our table becomes:
1st batch: 1 2 3 4 5 6
2nd batch: 1 5 3 4 2 6
3rd batch: 1 5 4 3 2 6
4th batch: 6 5 4 3 2 1
5th batch: 4 6 5 2 1 3
6th batch: 4 1 5 2 6 3
7th batch: 4 1 2 5 6 3
