Explanation

sp;   2              3                  7          4          1          6           From above illustration, it is clear that in step I word marked with 1 is interchanged with 3, 4 with 5, and 6 with 7, keeping the word marked 2 as it is. In step II, word marked 5 is kept same and 2 is interchanged with 3, 4 with 1 and 6 with 7. Likewise in third step, word marked with 6 is kept same and 2 is interchanged with 3, 5 with 4 and 1 with 7. Now, step IV is again identical to step I and so on.

Vth step for the given input will be 2 5 4 7 3 6 1, which is obtained after continuing the step IV given in the illustration. Hence, the Vth step is, ‘do for worry study’.
