Directions (1-5) :

Two numbers are arranged in each step from both the end such as the lowest number is arranged from left end and the highest number is arranged from the right end in step I. Similarly second-lowest number is arranged from the left end while the second-highest number is arranged from the right end and so on. Also while arranging the number each of the numbers which are arranged from the left end is replaced by the number which is the difference of the digits of that number and each of the numbers which are arranged from the right end is replaced by the number which is the addition of the digits of that number.

Input: 45 78 19 23 56 35 62 84
