5 Write the output of the following C program code. (3)

int a[] = {30, 20, 10};
printf(“%d %d %d\n”, *a, *a+1, *(a+1));
}
6 Write the C language statements for the following: (3)
(i) Define an array of pointers for storing the names of months.
(ii) Define an array of structure for storing the register number, name and 4
marks of 50 students in a class.

9 Compare the features of automaic and static variables in C. (3)
10 Write a function to check whether a given character is present in a string. (3)
Character and string are passed to the function. If the character is present return
