Trace the output of the following C program:Cmain{ int x,y; \[x=100:\] \[y=25;\] \[x-=y;\] printf(" x = %d", x); }(a) \(x=25\) (b) \(x=100\)(c) \(x=75\) (d) Compile time error.

Correct answer: C. (x=75)

  • A. (x=25)
  • B. (x=100)
  • C. (x=75)
  • D. Compile time error

Explanation

The correct option is (c) (x=75).Let's break down the code step by step and explain why other options are incorrect:int x, y;: This line declares two integer variables x and y.x=100:: This line assigns the value 100 to the variable x. The colon (:) at the end is a syntax error. In C, a semicolon (;) is used to terminate statements.y=25;: This line correctly assigns the value 25 to the variable y.x-=y;: This line subtracts the value of y (which is 25) from x and stores the result back in x. So, x becomes 100 - 25 = 75.printf(" x = %d", x);: This line prints the value of x using the printf function. The %d format specifier is used to print an integer value.Since x was assigned the value 75 in the previous step, this line prints "x = 75".
