Directions: Read the following information carefully and answer the given question.
A word and number arrangement machine when given an input line of numbers rearranges them following a particular rule in each step. The following is an illustration of an input and rearrangement steps.
Input: 78 37 59 18 48 97 63 47
Step 1: 09 78 37 59 48 63 47 02
Step 2: 10 09 59 48 63 47 02 01
Step 3: 11 10 09 59 48 02 01 03
Step 4: 12 11 10 09 02 01 03 04
Step 5: 01 02 03 04 09 10 11 12
And step 5th is the last step of the above input as the desired arrangement is obtained.
As per the rules followed in the above steps, find out in the following questions the appropriate step for the given input.
Input: 87 73 95 81 84 79 36 74
In step 1, if 79 is related to 04 and in a similar way 74 is related to 01 in step 2. Then in step 4, which 10 is related to?

The rule followed in arrangement of numbers is:

1) The sum of lowest number is arranged on the left side and simultaneously the difference of the highest number is arranged on the right hand side

2) In the last step all the number are arranged in ascending order.

Input: 87 73 95 81 84 79 36 74

Step I: 09 87 73 81 84 79 74 04

Step II: 10 09 81 84 79 74 04 01

Step III: 11 10 09 81 79 04 01 04

Step IV: 16 11 10 09 04 01 04 07

Step V: 01 04 04 07 09 10 11 16

here followed pattern is related to 2nd number from right side.

In step 1, 04 is 2nd to the right of 79.

In step 2, 01 is 2nd to the right of 74

Similarly, 04 is 2nd to the right of 10 in step 4.
