but,in the last pair 1st one is in increasing order i.e.,2 3 4 5 6
and 2nd one is in decreasing order i.e.,9 8 7 6 5.

ans : {23456, 98765}

In {12345 , 67890},  {54321 , 09876} and  {56789 ,34567},  both left side pattern and right side pattern are in same direction (either in ascending order or descending order).

But in {23456, 98765}, left side pattern is in ascending order whereas right side pattern is in descending order.
