OK  can you tell me how to 'state' the problem

" so that I would write it ", as you said.

you just give me some points, I'll state the Question

touching those points.

so that everyone can understand it.

Thanks.

Please clarify. Do you just have MW MW MW W, or do you have John(M)Mary
(W)  Fred(M)Susan(W) Sidney(M)Zelda(W) Rosanne(W). In the first case
you cannot tell one M from another, so there is just one
'arrangement', while in the other the different Ms and Ws have
different names, so there are many inequivalent arrangements. Even if
you mean the second, I still do not see what your stated problem IS.
Did you have an unordered list of 7 people (3M, 4W) and wanted to put
them in a particular order using the fewest steps (whatever a 'step'
may be), or what?

Your problem seems to be one of communication. You seem to write down
statements without really thinking them through. If English is not
your first language, you should think about the problem's statement in
your first language, giving the message a logical structure (imagine
that you want to explain the problem to your little sister). After you
have done that, then translate the message into English.

OK, let MAN as 'Apple'  and WOMAN as 'Mango'

A M M M M A A
you arrange them in pairs like AM AM etc.

then, I'll continue the next step

i think there has also been a problem
  with others expressing why you don't make sense

so let me show you how i read your problem
and why it doesn't make sense to me

let's say we have 10 men and 5 women (1)[yes you are right]

you want an algorithm to write them in pairs

that is _extremely_ simple

just take the lesser of the two numbers
  (5 here is less than 10)
and write that many pairs

WM WM WM WM WM

now subtract the smaller number from the larger
  10 - 5 = 5
and write that many individuals of the larger type

M M M M M (2)[up to here, it's OK]

done

is that really what you wanted?

it doesn't make sense
  because it doesn't use any of the other words
  that you've used in your description

it doesn't use any starting position(3)[what position you are asking]
(it just uses the number of each type)

even if you were given a starting position
  there is no reason to use it for anything

it doesn't have anything to do with reversible (4) [y not reversible]

in fact
  it can't be reversible
  because none of any starting information
    is stored in the final position (5) [its confusing here]

do you see why it might be frustrating to answer?

it's possible you have a very clear problem here
  and you just don't know what else needs to be said (6)[a part is right,about that]

is this a problem you want to program on a computer?(7)[may be, first I need the Idea , algorithm]

maybe you are looking to do this for a data structure?
  like a string?

do these people have names? (8)[no think like this AABABABBBABAA]

does the starting position obey some kind of rule?(9) [no, they are provided as random ]
or is it just an arbitrary one
  chosen from any of the possible arrangements?
