ANSWERS, HINTS, SOLUTIONS:

1-a(that
a(that is only possible case as we rotate 180 degree hori and 90 verti)(this question was given
free to all due to lack of readability in the figure)

2-c(it
c(it treats the chars like a array)

3-e-(400001
(400001 is out of range so it wil convert it)

4-e-132(simple eqn solving)

5-b

6-b(1st 2% of -8=2
8=2 than +4 to it therefore 6)

7-e-Namaste Hello Bonjour(plz see h is capital in question)

8-a(1 bit oring is taking place among binary no's)

Ans9: (b) and (e) both are correct (Marks were alloted for even one correct answer)

Ans10 c(400%-100%=300%)

11-a(- of minimum -ve no i.e -32768 will be 32768 out of range so again cycle starts from -32768)

12-ans: b(garbage values)

13-c(int by int gives int)

14-c(blarne stroustrap)

15-c(loop will not run)

16-a(left to right wen precedence equal)

17-d(first inner printf will run and 2 will be printed as printf returns no of chars it prints therefore
342 will be printed)

18-d(string dont need &)

19-a(its i=5 not i==5)

20-b(as define straightaway pastes value)

21-c(continue)

22-c(two cube - two square=12 and o raise to power 0 nt defined)

23-e(15/60=1/4)

24-e-depends on value of x

25-b(commas treated right to left)

26-c??

27-d(16+9+4+ 1=30)

28-b(1)

29-a(416 1st no is int next two are its square)

30-d(0)

31-c(by rotating 2 nd one)
