Answers:

1.    (1)
Input: train 59 47 25 over burden 63 sky.
Step I: burden train 59 47 25 over 63 sky.
Step II: burden 25 train 59 47 over 63 sky.
Step III: burden 25 over train 59 47 63 sky.
Step IV: burden 25 over 47 train 59 63 sky.
Step V: burden 25 over 47 sky train 59 63.
Step VI: burden 25 over 47 sky 59 train 63.
Step VI is the last step.

2.    (5)
Input: Service 46 58 96 over there desk 15.
Step I: desk service 46 58 96 over there desk 15.
Step II: desk 15 service 46 58 96 over there.
Step III: desk 15 over service 46 58 96 there.
Step IV: desk 15 over 46 service 58 96 there.
Step V: desk 15 over 46 service 58 there 96.
Step V is the last step. Hence, there will not be Step VI.

3.    (4)
Input cannot be determined from output.

4.    (4)
Input: art 24 day 83 71 54 star power.
Step IV: art 24 day 54 83 71 star power.
Step V: art 24 day 54 power 83 71 star.
Step VI: art 24 day 54 power 71 83 star.
Step VII: art 24 day 54 power 71 star 83.
Step VII is the last step.

5.    (3)
Input: cold 17 wave 69 never desk 52 43.
Step III: cold 17 desk wave 69 never 52 43.
Step IV: cold 17 desk 43 wave 69 never 52.
Step V: cold 17 desk 43 never wave 69 52.
Step VI: cold 17 desk 43 never 52 wave 69.
Step VI is the last step.
Hence, 4 steps are required to complete the arrangement.

6. (3)
Numbers which are divisible only one digit have '5'
35, 40, 45, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 65, 70 =16
Rest Numbers = 36 - 16 = 20

7. (2)
8. (1)
9. (4)

10. (4)
In classroom Suman's Place in one down to Amit's Place. Therefore two girls and four boys are ahead to Amit .
