IF NOT AGE LESS THAN 30 AND 40 GOTO PARA-AGE-MIDDLES. The controls will go to the paragraph named PARA-AGE-MIDDLES

  1. if AGE is greater than or equal to 30

  2. if AGE is greater than or equal to 40

  3. if AGE is less than or equal to 30

  4. if AGE is greater than or equal to 30 but less than 40


Correct Option: D

AI Explanation

To answer this question, let's analyze the given statement:

IF NOT AGE LESS THAN 30 AND 40 GOTO PARA-AGE-MIDDLES

This statement can be understood as "If the age is not less than 30 and also not equal to 40, then go to the paragraph named PARA-AGE-MIDDLES."

Let's go through each option to determine the correct answer:

Option A) if AGE is greater than or equal to 30 This option suggests that the control will go to the paragraph if the age is greater than or equal to 30. However, this option does not consider the condition that the age should not be equal to 40, as stated in the given statement. Therefore, this option is incorrect.

Option B) if AGE is greater than or equal to 40 This option suggests that the control will go to the paragraph if the age is greater than or equal to 40. However, this option does not consider the condition that the age should not be less than 30, as stated in the given statement. Therefore, this option is incorrect.

Option C) if AGE is less than or equal to 30 This option suggests that the control will go to the paragraph if the age is less than or equal to 30. However, this option does not consider the condition that the age should not be equal to 40, as stated in the given statement. Therefore, this option is incorrect.

Option D) if AGE is greater than or equal to 30 but less than 40 This option suggests that the control will go to the paragraph if the age is greater than or equal to 30 but less than 40. This option correctly considers both conditions stated in the given statement: the age should not be less than 30 and not equal to 40. Therefore, this option is correct.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option D) if AGE is greater than or equal to 30 but less than 40.

What is the PIC representation for +123.876?

  1. PIC S9(3).999

  2. PIC 9(3).999

  3. PIC S9(3)V999

  4. PIC 9(3)V999


Correct Option: C

AI Explanation

To represent the number +123.876 in PIC (Picture) format, we need to consider the sign, the integer part, and the fractional part.

The options given are: A. PIC S9(3).999 B. PIC 9(3).999 C. PIC S9(3)V999 D. PIC 9(3)V999

Let's analyze each option:

Option A) PIC S9(3).999 - This option represents a signed numeric field with a length of 3 digits for the integer part and 3 decimal places for the fractional part. However, it does not account for the sign of the number.

Option B) PIC 9(3).999 - This option represents an unsigned numeric field with a length of 3 digits for the integer part and 3 decimal places for the fractional part. However, it does not account for the sign of the number.

Option C) PIC S9(3)V999 - This option represents a signed numeric field with a length of 3 digits for the integer part, a decimal point, and 3 decimal places for the fractional part. The "V" represents the decimal point. This option correctly represents the number +123.876.

Option D) PIC 9(3)V999 - This option represents an unsigned numeric field with a length of 3 digits for the integer part, a decimal point, and 3 decimal places for the fractional part. However, it does not account for the sign of the number.

The correct answer is C) PIC S9(3)V999. This option correctly represents the number +123.876 by considering the sign, integer part, and fractional part.

Which option is used to create the form layout ?

  1. A

  2. Z

  3. L

  4. W


Correct Option: C

“SELECT FILE-1 ASSIGN TO INFILE”, in this statement what is the logical and physical file name?

  1. Logical- FILE-1, Physical- INFILE

  2. Logical- INFILE, Physical- FILE-1

  3. Logical- None, Physical-ASSIGN

  4. None of them


Correct Option: A

AI Explanation

To answer this question, let's break down the given statement: "SELECT FILE-1 ASSIGN TO INFILE".

In COBOL programming, the "SELECT" statement is used to define and assign logical and physical file names. The syntax of the "SELECT" statement is as follows:

SELECT logical-file-name ASSIGN TO physical-file-name

In the given statement, the logical file name is "FILE-1" and the physical file name is "INFILE".

Therefore, the correct answer is:

A) Logical - FILE-1, Physical - INFILE
