 Answers
1. N=10
DO while N>=5
N=N-1
LOOP
In the above code loops as long as N>=5, Initial value of N = 10 in the loop
that value reduce 1 by one till N = 5 i.e. it repeats when the value of N =
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5 so it repeats 6 times.
2. Input Name followed by Input Age so it's a sequence. ? Age >= 18 means
selection. Answer: both sequence and simple selection.
3. Out of the given answers most suitable answer (invalid reason) "is The
teacher deletes the part mentioned above in (A) because it is incorrect".
4. Initial value of p = 2; so p:=2*2*3*4 = 48
5. If you know how many times the loop should repeat we should use for loop.
Answer: for-statement.
6. Read T, T<=25, Yes, "Cold", No, Anymore? (① is a ▱ parallelogram so ①
should be an input or an output, by looking at the given answers all
mentioned it as Read T. The second ◇ is to make decision there anymore is
not suitable reason for this is whether you have some more inputs which more
suitable for ⑥ hence we can eliminate 2 answers. Suppose if ③, ④, ⑤ are
T<26, No, "Cold” then if we substitute for T with 27, 27<26 is false so it
displays "cold" as per the question if temperature less than 26°C only
needs to show "Cold" so it's incorrect. Only reaming answers is Read T,
T<=25, Yes, "Cold", No, Anymore? )
7. Initially X = 1, Y = 1. The condition X=Y is true so the loop begins. Inside
the Z = X+Y so it becomes 2, Y = 2 again substitutes values X=Y becomes 1=2
is false so it comes out of the loop and display Z i.e. 2.
8. Loop begins as the condition M > 5 i.e. 6>5 is true. But the variable remain
unaltered during the execution of the program the so the program never ends.
9. Out the given answers order of execution is (), *, /, -, +
10. (A)Loop - (S)A programming technique that repeats a sequence of instructions
until a specified condition is met.
(B)Selection - (R) A condition that is used to choose one out of two things.
11. Value of X is initially 20 it becomes 16, 12, 08, 04, 0 and when the X
becomes -4 it satisfies the condition and comes out of the loop.
12. MOD
13. Hot, Hot, Cold
14. If Then Else construct i.e. B only (loop is incorrect as the flowchart needs
to be from bottom to top)
15. Real
16. Incorrect ones - The value of a variable remains unchanged.
17. *, /, +
18. 5, 2, 10 (Result = numberOne/numberTwo; numberOne=Result*numberTwo, In the
given question numberOne is at the end so the multiplication of first two
numbers result the last one so out of the given answers most suitable one is
5, 2, 10)
19. X=X-3, Is X>15, Print X (In flowchart ▭ represents process, ◇ represents
decision, ▱ represents input/output in the same order as in the question.
decision needs to be ◇ represented like this and the symbol for the
decision there is only one answer like this i.e. Is X>15)
20. X<=15 (while loop repeats when the condition X>15 is true, so to terminate
we need to look at the condition that is false. i.e. X<=15).
21. 15 (Initial value of X 21, in the decision ◇ X>15 so 21>15 is true it
chooses the path with Yes, there in the process ▭ X = X-3 when you
substitute for X becomes X = 21-3 = 18 Again X>15 i.e. 18>15 so again it
chooses the Yes path. There is the process ▭ X = X-3 substituting the
value for X, X becomes X = 18-3=15 Again in the decision ◇ X>15
substitute the value for x 15>15 is false so it chooses the No path ▱
Print X shows the current value of X i.e. 15).
22. When it is 15 the condition is true so there will be another iteration so
the value becomes 12.
23. It displays the total when the counter is 3 (Students can come to this
answer by looking at the decision ◇ i.e. Is counter less than 3?).
Regunathan Umapathy BSc https://ictmcq.home.blog Page 20 of 22
 24. total = total+num
25. For-Next loop can be used when the number of
repetitions is known in advance.
26. Sequence, Selection
27. Either A or B
28. 100
29. 50
30. It gives the message "You are very close" when the user enters the value 6
31. 1234
32. Iteration, Selection
33. X>10
34. 3840 (output needs to multiplied by 10 so the number will end with 0 so we
can easily eliminate two answers).
35. 5
36. Sequence, Selection and Iteration only
37. It prints the value 2 as one of its outputs.
38. Inputs: A, E processes B, C output: D
39. 14
40. repetition, selection and sequence
41. x = 7
42. 225
43. 225
44. an algorithm, the syntax, a flowchart
45. Sumith only
46. 5
47. 11
48. num=2
49. Statement 2 is executed at least once but Statement 1 is executed depending
on the condition.
50. 1st answer
51. 0, i, 10
52. 4 (Repetition will take place when the value of count = 9, 7, 5, 3)
53. 16 (While loops happen when the condition is true so the OddTotal=
1+3+5+7=16 corresponding to count value 0, 1, 2, 3)
54. If average_marks > 50 AND failed_subjects = 0 Then scholarship = 'True' (If
followed by If known as the nested if, it could be replaced with AND).
55. 11, 3 Since the correct answer was not given so it's open.
56. A:Ⓠ, B:Ⓡ, C:Ⓢ, D:Ⓟ
57. A:Ⓡ, B:Ⓠ, C:Ⓟ, D:Ⓢ
58. 2nd answer
59. num>=100
60. Output Min, Min=N
61. SELECTION occurs within REPETITION
62. 6 times
63. 2nd answer
64. X = 7, Y = 7, Z = 7
65. Num = 6, Count = 4 (Students can calculate the Num = n(n+1)/2 =3*4/2=6)
66. 4 times
67. 20, 10 (Given X = 10, Y = 20, X<Y is true so Z = Y means Z = 20, Y =X
means Y = 10, X = Z means X = 20 so display X, Y means 20, 10).
68. number>=1O
69. 4th answer (if know in advance how many times the loop should repeat better
to look at forloop)
70. 3 times as the correct answer was not given it was an open question.
71. if average>70 AND Sport_colour = 'True' then Allrounder_award = 'True'
(nested if should be replaced with AND).
72. Ⓟ = D, Ⓠ = C, Ⓡ = A, Ⓢ = B (▱ indicates input/output, ▭ indicates
process and ◇ refers to decision).
73. Selection inside Iteration
74. 36 (The loops repeates when the value of Student_count <= Total_Stdents so
it repeats till Student_count = 35, inside the loop
Student_count=Student_count+1 so the Student_count becomes 36 and comes out
of the loop).

Regunathan Umapathy BSc https://ictmcq.home.blog Page 21 of 22

 75. While-Do (If then and If then else are not suitable answers as they are
related to decision and not related to iteration. Do while the condition is
checked at the end while in the given flowchart condition is checked at the
begnning so the suitable one is while do).
76. If distance = 101 and vehicle-type = 'Bus' then Payment-option will be made
'False'.
77. A[7]
78. 0
79. N<=100, Yes, No
80. 3rd answer.
81. All A, B and C
82. All A, B and C
83. 375 (Units <=50 is false also Units>50 and units<=150 is also false so it
will choose the ELSE part means amount = 250+(units-150)*25 substituting the
values = 250+(175-150)*5=375
84. 5 (given logic calculates the maximum value)
85. Only A is correct
86. 70 (The given logic calculates the maximum value so it's 70).
87. Repeat until loops repeats until the condition becomes true. After executing
the statement Sum = Sum+ count*count i.e. sum=0+5*5=25 until count > 0 is
true so loops terminates and prints the value 25
88. 1*2*3*4*5=120
89. While loop happen as long as the condition is true. Given number 12 > 5 so
initially the condition is true. If number>=10 is also true i.e. 12>=10 is
true so the number becomes number/2 i.e. 12/2=6 Again in the while loop the
condition is true i.e. 6>5 so the loop repeats if number >= 5 is false i.e.
6 >= 5 is false so it chooses the else part number = 6+4=10. Again the While
loop condition is true i.e. 10 >= 5 in the if part is also correct i.e. 10
>=10 is true so number = 10/2=5 now the while loop condition is false i.e. 5
> 5 is false so it comes out of the loop and display number i.e. it will
display 5.
