5. ENo error Directions (Q196–Q200) : The clearing department of a bank works a machine for the arrangement of words and numbers which takes in a single line made up partly of words and partly of numbers, works upon that line by a rule xed once for all, and prints out a fresh line at every step until the work is done. At each step precisely one word and precisely one number are lifted from the places they occupied, the one being carried away to the left end of the line and the other to the right end of it, while whatever is left untouched at that step holds, as among themselves, the very order the untouched elements already had. Set out below is one such line as it was fed in, together with every line that the machine printed upon it.
