Which option will be used with sort command to start sorting ofter the nth column of the (m+l)th field ?

Correct answer: B. +m.n

  • A. -m.n
  • B. +m.n
  • C. + n.m+1
  • D. +(m+l).n

Explanation

In the traditional Unix `sort` syntax, `+m.n` specifies a sort key beginning at a character position within a field, so option b matches the described notation. This is an obsolete form in modern `sort`, where `-k` is normally used.
