MV files with xargs or -exec

Hi

I need to move multiple (say 10 files) from one location to another location. My selection would be like this...

ls -ltr *.arc | head ---> Need to move top 10 files with single command without iterating in loop. I know we can move files like this with find command but not sure if I can move top 10 files in any directory to another one.

Any help would be appreciated.

- Malay
