#include <stdio.
h>
int main() {
printf("%d", sizeof('A'));
return 0;
}
Options:
A) 1
B) 2
C) 4
D) Depends on the compiler
Answer: D) Depends on the compiler
(In C, 'A' is treated as an int, so sizeof('A') is usually 4. In C++, it is 1.)
2. Which of the following is not a valid C variable name?
Options:
A) _var
B) 1var
C) var1
D) Var
Answer: B) 1var (Variable names cannot start with a digit.)
3. What is the output of the following C code?
c
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int x = 5;
printf("%d", x++ + ++x);
return 0;
}
Options:
A) 10
B) 11
C) 12
D) Undefined behavior
Answer: D) Undefined behavior (Modifying x twice between sequence points leads to UB.)
4. Which operator is used for dynamic memory allocation in C++?

D) create
Answer: B) new
5. What does the following C code print?

if (a = b) printf("Equal");
else printf("Not Equal");
return 0;
}
Options:
A) Equal
B) Not Equal
C) Compilation Error
D) Runtime Error
Answer: A) Equal (Assignment a = b returns 20 (true), so "Equal" is printed.)
6. What is the output of the following C++ code?
cpp
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int x = 5, y = 2;
cout << (x << y) << endl;
return 0;
}
Options:
A) 10

7. Which of the following is not a storage class in C?
Options:
A) auto
B) register
C) static
D) public
Answer: D) public (It is a C++ access specifier, not a C storage class.)

printf("%d", 5 == 5 == 5);
return 0;
}
Options:
A) 1
B) 0
C) 5
D) Syntax Error
Answer: B) 0 (First 5 == 5 evaluates to 1, then 1 == 5 is 0.)

r++;
cout << a;
return 0;
}
Options:
A) 5
B) 6
C) Compilation Error
D) Runtime Error
Answer: B) 6 (Reference r modifies a directly.)
11. Which of the following is not a valid C data type?
Options:
A) float
B) double
C) real
D) char
Answer: C) real (Not a standard C type.)
12. What is the output of the following C code?
c
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int x = 0;
if (x = 1) printf("True");
else printf("False");
return 0;
}
Options:
A) True
B) False
C) Compilation Error
D) Runtime Error
Answer: A) True (Assignment x = 1 returns 1 (true).)

using namespace std;
int main() {
int arr[] = {1, 2, 3};
cout << arr[3];
return 0;
}
Options:
A) 3
B) 0
C) Garbage Value
D) Runtime Error
Answer: C) Garbage Value (Accessing out-of-bounds index leads to undefined behavior.)
15. Which keyword is used to prevent a variable from being modified in C?
Options:
A) const
B) static
C) final
D) fixed
Answer: A) const
16. What is the output of the following C code?
c
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
printf("%d", 10 ? 0 ? 5 : 3 : 8);
return 0;
}
Options:
A) 5
B) 3
C) 8
D) 0
Answer: B) 3 (Nested ternary operator: 10 ? (0 ? 5 : 3) : 8 → 10 ? 3 : 8 → 3.)
17. Which function is used to deallocate memory in C?
Options:
A) free()
B) delete
C) remove()
D) dealloc()
Answer: A) free()
18. What is the output of the following C++ code?
cpp
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int x = 5;
cout << (x > 2 ? "Yes" : "No");
return 0;
}
Options:
A) Yes
B) No
C) 1
D) Compilation Error
Answer: A) Yes (Ternary operator evaluates to "Yes" since 5 > 2.)
19. What is the size of an empty class in C++?
Options:
A) 0
B) 1
C) 4
D) Compilation Error
Answer: B) 1 (Empty classes have a size of 1 for unique addressability.)
20. What is the output of the following C code?
C
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int a = 5, b = 10;
printf(“%d”, a + b);
return 0;
}
Options:
A) 5
B) 10
C) 15

21. Which header file is needed for printf() in C?
Options:
A) <conio.h>
B) <stdlib.h>
C) <stdio.h>
D) <math.h>

Options:
A) 1
B) 2
C) 4
D) 8
Answer: C) 4
Explanation: On a 32-bit system, int is usually 4 bytes. On 64-bit, it may still be 4
(but long becomes 8).
23. What does ++x do?
Options:
A) Post-increment
B) Pre-increment
C) Adds 2 to x
D) Returns x unchanged
Answer: B) Pre-increment
Explanation: ++x increments x before its value is used, while x++ increments after.
24. What is the output of printf("%c", 65);?
Options:
A) 65
B) A
C) Compilation Error
D) Garbage Value

Explanation: %c prints the ASCII character corresponding to the number (65 = 'A').
25. Which is not a loop in C?
Options:
A) for
B) while
C) foreach
D) do-while
Answer: C) foreach
Explanation: foreach is not a C/C++ loop (it exists in C#/Java/Python). C

26. What is the output of 5 / 2 in C?
Options:
A) 2
B) 2.5
C) 3
D) 2.0
Answer: A) 2

27. What is NULL in C?
Options:
A) A macro for 0
B) A reserved keyword
C) A void pointer
D) An integer constant
Answer: A) A macro for 0

Explanation:
29. What is the output of printf("%d", !5);?
Options:
A) 5
B) 1
C) 0
D) -1

Explanation: The logical NOT operator (!) returns 0 for non-zero values (like 5)
and 1 for 0.
30. What is the entry point of a C program?
Options:
A) start()
B) main()
C) init()
D) void min()
