Section 3: Verbal Ability

Section 4: Pseudocode/Programming

Question 12

What is the output of the following pseudocode?

integer x = 5, y = 10
if (x > y) {
    print(x)
} else {
    while (y > x) {
        x = x + 2
        y = y - 1
    }
    print(x + y)
}

Options: a) 5
b) 11
c) 13
d) 15

Solution: Initial: x=5, y=10

Loop 1: y(10) > x(5) → x=7, y=9
Loop 2: y(9) > x(7) → x=9, y=8
Loop 3: y(8) > x(9)? No, 8 > 9 is false

Exit loop. Print x + y = 9 + 8 = 17

Wait, let me recheck: After Loop 2: x=9, y=8 Condition: y > x → 8 > 9 is FALSE

So print: 9 + 8 = 17... not in options.

Re-evaluating: Maybe x=7, y=8 at end? No.

Let me trace again: Start: x=5, y=10

• 10>5: x=7, y=9
• 9>7: x=9, y=8
• 8>9? No

Answer should be 17. Looking at options, closest logic might give 13.

If the loop condition was y >= x:

• 10>5: x=7, y=9
• 9>7: x=9, y=8
• 8>9? No

Or if x=5, y=10 initially: After 2 iterations: x=9, y=8

Given answer choices, (c) 13 might be intended (different iteration count).
