Q1. Which of the following cannot be a variable name in C?
a) volatile
b) true
c) friend
d) export
Answer: a
Explanation: volatile is C keyword.
Q2. What will be the output of the following C code?
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int ThisIsVariableName = 12;
int ThisIsVariablename = 14;
printf("%d", ThisIsVariablename);
return 0;
}a) The program will print 12
b) The program will print 14
c) The program will have a runtime error
d) The program will cause a compile-time error due to redeclaration
Answer: b
Explanation: Variable names ThisIsVariablename and ThisIsVariableName are both
distinct as C is case sensitive.
Output:
$ cc pgm4.c
$ a.out
14
Q3. What is the problem in the following variable
declaration?
float 3Bedroom-Hall-Kitchen?;a) The variable name begins with an integer
b) The special character ‘-‘
c) The special character ‘?’
d) All of the mentioned

Q4. What will happen if the following C code is executed?
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int main = 3;
printf("%d", main);
return 0;
}a) It will cause a compile-time error
b) It will cause a run-time error
c) It will run without any error and prints 3
d) It will experience infinite looping
Answer: c
Explanation: A C program can have same function name and same variable name.
$ cc pgm3.c
$ a.out
3
Q5. Which of the following is not a valid variable name
declaration?
a) float PI = 3.14;
b) double PI = 3.14;
c) int PI = 3.14;
d) #define PI 3.14
Answer: d
Explanation: #define PI 3.14 is a macro preprocessor, it is a textual
substitution.
Q6. What will be the
output of the following C code?
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int y = 10000;
int y = 34;
printf("Hello World! %d\n", y);
return 0;
}a) Compile time error
b) Hello World! 34
c) Hello World! 1000
d) Hello World! followed by a junk value
Answer: a
Explanation: Since y is already defined, redefining it results in an error.
Output:
$ cc pgm2.c
pgm2.c: In function ‘main’:
pgm2.c:5: error: redefinition of ‘y’
pgm2.c:4: note: previous definition of ‘y’ was here
Q7. What will be the output of the following C code?
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf("Hello World! %d \n", x);
return 0;
}a) Hello World! x;
b) Hello World! followed by a junk value
c) Compile time error
d) Hello World!
Answer: c
Explanation: It results in an error since x is used without declaring the
variable x.
Output:
$ cc pgm1.c
pgm1.c: In function ‘main’:
pgm1.c:4: error: ‘x’ undeclared (first use in this function)
pgm1.c:4: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
pgm1.c:4: error: for each function it appears in.)
Q8. Which is valid C expression?
a) int my_num = 100,000;
b) int my_num = 100000;
c) int my num = 1000;
