Input Output

In these type of questions an input is given which consists of either words or numbers. You will be told that a machine rearranges this input in a particular manner. Your aim is to find the rule followed by the machine in rearranging the input. Then you have to apply this rule to the questions given and find the answers. Finding the rule followed by the machine is the key task. Once you find the rule it's quite easy to solve the questions.

SOURCE GENERAL RULES

Arrange according to the dictionary — the words are arranged according to the dictionary order.

Example: Input: is of am do can
Step 1: am is of do can
Step 2: am can is of do
Step 3: am can do is of
