In the second step, the word which comes second in the dictionary is placed at the second place and all words except the first and the second are written in reverse order. The process continues, in the same manner, to give the passcodes for the subsequent batches.

Input : four of the following five form a group

Batch I(10 a.m. to  11 a.m.): a group form five following the of four

Batch II (11 a.m. to 12 noon): a five-four of the following form group

Batch III (12 noon to 1 p.m.):a five following group form of four

Batch IV (1 p.m. to 2 p.m.): five following form four of the group

Rest hour (2 p.m. to 3 P.m.)

Batch V (3 p.m. to 4 p.m.) : a five following form four group the of
