a) int age;
b) float salary;
c) char ch;
d) int $main;

Answer: D
2 What is the output of the following code snippet? 1 2 1 1 2.5.2
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
float s; double a; char b;
printf("%d", sizeof(s)+sizeof(a)*sizeof(b));

3 Choose the correct answer. 1 2 1 1 2.5.2

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int value = 350;
int value = 892;
printf("SRMIST!%d",value);
return 0;
}
a) SRMIST!350
b) Redefinition of value
c) SRMIST!892
d) SRMIST! Followed by a junk value.

Answer: B [Since the value is already defined.

Redefining it results in an error]

getchar();
return 0;
}
a) 0
b) 1
c) 5

11 #include <stdio.h> 1 2 3 2 2.6.3
int main(){
char operator = ‘+’;
int num1 =12;
int num2 = 10;
int result = (operator ==’+’_____________);
// Complete the statement by using ternary operator to get the result
= 22, if not result = 2 .
printf(“%d”, result);
return 0;
}

Answer: int result = (operator ==’+’) ? (num1 + num2) : (num1 –

num2);

12 Illustrate the available datatype modifiers in C? 1 2 2 2 2.6.3

 Answer:

signed - It is default modifier of int and char data

type if no modifier is specified. It says that user
can store negative or positive values.
 unsigned - It is used on int and char data type. It
says that user can store only positive values.
 short - It limits user to store small int values and
occupies 2 bytes of memory space in every
operating system. It can be used only on integer
data type.
 long - This can be used to increased size of
the int or double data types to 2 more bytes.

13 Pick the correct one from the following declaration is not 1 2 2 2 2.6.3

17 Kumar had taken the loan amount Rs. 30000 before 3 1 2 3 5 2.6.3
years in the HDFC bank at 2.5% interest. He went to
bank for make the payment of his loan. Therefore,
could you help him to pay the correct amount by
writing a C program to find the simple interest of his
loan amount?

Solution:

#include <stdio.h>

void main() {

float amount, rate, simple_interest;

int months;

printf("Provide amount and interest in

the format $amount rate%% : ");

// Read amount and rate using scanf()

scanf("$%f %f%%", &amount, &rate);

printf("Enter the period in months : ");

scanf("%d", &months);

simple_interest = amount * rate *

months / 100 ; // Fill the missing expression to
calculate simple interest

printf("Simple interest : %f\n",

simple_interest);
