(c) 4,3,2,1 (d) 1 1 1 1 1
11. switch(ch) 12. What would be the final value of x after execution of
{ the following program?
case ‘a’: printf(“a”); void main()
case ‘b’: printf(“b”); { int x = 1;
default: printf(“error”); while (x<=10)
} if ch is assigned to the character ‘a’ then the output will do
be { x++;
(a) a b (b) a b error } while (x< = 5);
(c) a (d) error printf (“\n x = %d”, x); }
(a) x = 6 (b) x = 2 (c) 10 (d) x = 11
13. The number of elements in array declaration 14. Identify the incorrect declaration of arrays from the
(a) dynamically identifies based on largest index used in following
program (a) int a[50];
(b) assume default size as ‘0’ (b) float values[10][20];
(c) requires to be specified (c) double a[50];
(d) does not require to be specified (d) int score[10,15];

15. A string in the ‘C’ language is represented by enclosing 16. ‘void’ means
a sequence of characters in (a) something not known (b) 0
(a) flower brackets { } (b) double quotes “ “ (c) 1 (d) nothing
(c) parenthesis ( ) (d) single quotes ‘ ‘
17. What is the output of 18. The function strrev( ) the actual string in the array
main() { (a) will reverse
int x, change (int); (b) will not reverse
x = 20; (c) may not reverse
change (x); (d) may reverse
printf (“%d”, x);
}
change (int x) {x = 10; printf (“%d”. x); }
(a) 10 30 (b) 20 20 (c) 10 10 (d) 10 20

19. The storage area for register variables 20. Symbolic constants are defined as
(a) memory (b) processor registers (a) #define s1=s2; (b) #define s1 s2
(c) virtual memory (d) cache (c) #define s1 s2; (d) #define s1=s2
