1. Consider the block of code below, where variables Athlete , beautician and
carpenter each have integer values.
a) Under which condition will the value in variable Athlete be printed?

If athlete < beautician:

if beautician < carpenter:
print (carpenter)
1) Athlete is 1, beautician is 2 and carpenter is 3
else :
2) Athlete is 1, beautician is 3 and carpenter is 2
print (beautician)
3) Athlete is 3, beautician is 2 and carpenter is 1
elif athlete < carpenter: 4) Athlete is 2, beautician is 1 and carpenter is 3
print (carpenter) 5) Under no circumstances, because variable
else : Athlete’s value can never be printed by this code
print (athlete)
