Directions (Q. 1-5): Study the given information and answer the following questions. A word and number arrangement machine when given an input line of word and numbers rearranges them following a particular rule. The following is an illustration of input and its rearrangement.
Input: economy on 16 is cool hot begin 14 but new again 24
Step I: begin 14 economy on 16 is cool hot but new again 24
Step II: begin 14 again 24 economy on 16 is cool hot but new
Step III: begin 14 again 24 on 16 economy is cool hot but new

Questions 1-5
The machine first rearranges words which are along with numbers according to the ascending order of sum of the digits of the numbers. And then remaining words are arranged in descending order of the length, then they are arranged in reverse alphabetical order.
In the last step, except the words that are along with numbers, the place value of the first letter
of the words is written in the place of words in alphabet.
