a) Zero
b) Garbage value
c) One
d) Combination of zero and one.

40) What happen if we assign a value to an array element whose subscript exceeds
the size of array.
a) The program will give error
b) No output
c) program will crash
d) none of these
Answer:c
41) What will be output of the following program
int main()
{
int b[4]={5,1,32,4};
int k,l,m;
k=++b[1];
l=b[1]++;
m=b[k++];
printf(“%d, %d, %d”,k,l,m);
return 0;
}
a) 2, 2, 4
b) 3, 2, 32
c) 3, 2, 4
d) 2, 3, 32
Answer:b
Explaination:Here, ++b[1] means that firstly b[1] will be incremented so, b[1]=2
then assigned to k i.e. k=2.
b[1]++ means firstly b[1] will be assigned to variable l i.e. l=2, Then value stored in
b[1] will be incremented i.e. b[1]=3.
b[k++] means first b[k] will be assigned to m i.e. m=32, then value of k will be
incremented i.e. k=3.
42) What will be output of the following program where c=65474 and int=2 bytes.
int main()
{
int c[3][4]={2,3,1,6,4,1,6,2,2,7,1,10};
printf(“%u, %u\n”, c+1, &c+1);
return 0;
}
a) 65482, 65498
b) 65476, 65476
c) 65476, 65498
d) No output
Answer:a
Explaination: Here c[3][4]= {
{2,3,1,6};
{4,1,6,2};
{2,7,1,10}
};
c+1 means c is base address i.e. address of 1st one Dimensional array and on
incrementing it by 1 means it points to 2nd one 2 Dimensional array.
So, c+1=65474 + ( 4 * 2)= 65482
But, when we are writing &c, that means address of this whole array i.e. address of
next new array.
So, &c+1=65474 + (12 * 2)=65498
43) what will be output of the following program
int main()
{
int a[5],i=0;
while(i<5)
a[i]=++i;
for(i=0;i<5;i++)
printf(“%d,”,a[i]);}
a) garbage value,1,2,3,4
b) 1,2,3,4,5
c) Error
d) Program crash
Answer:a
Explaination: firstly right side of any expression is evaluated, then the left side is
evaluated. So, here ++i will be evaluated at first, then a[i].
Hence, when i=0, a[1]=1, then i=1, a[2]=2,…a[4]=4
and a[0]=garbage value
44) What will be output of the following program
int main()
{
float a[]={12.4, 2.3, 4.5, 6.7};
printf(“%d, %d”, sizeof(a), sizeof(a[0]));
return 0;
}
a) 16 bytes, 4 bytes
b) 4 bytes, 4 bytes
c) 8 bytes, 4 bytes
d) None of these
Answer:a
Explaination: sizeof(a)=number of element * size of each element
=4 * 4 bytes
=16 bytes
sizeof(a[0])=size of 1st element of array a
= 4 bytes
45 Which one of this is equivalent to
int fun(int arr[])
a) int fun(arr)
b) int fun(int s[])
c) int fun(int arr[2])
d) None of these
Answer:c
Explaination: int fun(int arr[]) and int fun(int arr[0]) are equivalent. Both are
prototype for function fun(), that accepts one integer array as parameter and return
an integer value.
46) In 2 Dimensional Array, it is necessary to mention _______ dimension.
a) second
b) first
c) both
d) none of these
Answer:a
Explaination :In 2D array, it is necessary to mention the second dimension,
whereas the first dimension is optional.
int arr[][3]={12,34,33,45,56,73};
47) An array can be passed to a function by __________
a) Call by reference
b) call by value
c) Call by reference by passing base address to a function
d) Both a and c
Answer:d
48) What will be output of the following program
int main()
{
int arr[4]={3,4,5,6};
int k[4];
k=arr;
printf(“%d\n”,k[1]);
}
a) Compile Time Error
b) 4
c) No output
d) Program crashes
Answer:a
Explaination: We cannot assign one array to another directly. We can do
assignment operation element by element. Thus reports compile time error.

}
a) n
b) o
c) t
d) Compile Time Error
Answer:b
Explaination: > Here, char * argv[ ] denotes Array of Pointers. So, argv[ ] holds the
address of the command line argument passed. ++argv denote the address of next
location, which holds the address of the 2nd argument.
*++argv denote the value stored at that address i.e. the address of the 1st character
of the 2nd argument and **++argv itself denote the character ‘o’ .
61) What will be output of the following program if argument passed to command
lines are : demo friday
#include<stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
printf(“%c”,*++argv[1]);
return 0;
}
a) r
b) f
c) i
d) d
Answer:a
Explaination :>argv[1] can be wriiten as *(argv+1), (argv+1) denote the address of
next location, which holds the address of 2nd argument. Thus *(argv+1) or argv[1]
denote the value stored at that address i.e. denote the address of 1st character of
the 2nd Argument. ++argv[1] denote the address of 2nd character of the 2nd
Argument. So *++argv[1] itself denote the character ‘r’ .
