A word and number arrangement machine when given an input line of words and numbers rearranges them following a particular rule. The following is an illustration of an input and rearrangement.
Input: mandate awareness 8 4 2 possibility 9 on 6 venn 11 strike 7 European
Step I: awareness 9 mandate 8 4 2 possibility on 6 venn 11 strike 7 European
Step II: awareness 9 European 8 mandate 4 2 possibility on 6 venn 11 strike 7
Step III: awareness 9 European 8 mandate 7 4 2 possibility on 6 venn 11 strike
Step IV: awareness 9 European 8 mandate 7 on 2 4 possibility 6 venn 11 strike
Step V: awareness 9 European 8 mandate 7 on 2 possibility 11 4 6 venn strike
Step VI: awareness 9 European 8 mandate 7 on 2 possibility 11 strike 6 4 venn
Step VII:awareness 9 European 8 mandate 7 on 2 possibility 11 strike 6 venn 4

Step VII is the last step. As per rules followed in above steps, find out in each of the following questions the appropriate step for the input given below.

Input: investment on 7 6 foreign direct 5 8 10 allow projects 2 9 important

(3–6):
chi na le ba pi ? Federer and Nadal are rivals ... (1)

Since neither ‘Nadal’ nor ‘are’ is common with any
other equation, so we can’t find the exact code for
‘Nadal’. It may be either ‘le’ or ‘pi’.
From (2), (3) and (5),
ki ? plays and mu ? children
