Step I: The first two smallest numbers are arranged in ascending order.
Step II: The next two smallest numbers are arranged in ascending order shifting the previously arranged one inward.
Step III: The digits of all the numbers are interchanged
Step IV: Taking a pair of numbers from the left-most side, the first two digits of the number pair are taken to form a number. Similarly, the second two digits of a number pair are taken to form the next number.
Input: 12 46 32 11 19 36 89 41 56 53 75 81
Step I: 11 12 46 32 19 36 89 41 56 53 75 81
Step II: 19 32 11 12 46 36 89 41 56 53 75 81
Step III: 91 23 11 21 64 63 98 14 65 35 57 18
Step IV: 92 13 12 11 66 43 91 84 63 55 51 78
Thus, Step IV is the last step.
The number which is fourth from the left end in step II = 12
The number which is fourth from the right end in step IV = 65
Sum = 12 + 63 = 75
Hence, 75 is the correct answer.
