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

The position of ‘10’ in step 5 is 3rd the right end.
