Answer [=]
B
6) Find a correct C Keyword.
A) Float
B) Int
C) Long

Explanation:

All C Keywords are in lower case.

7) Types of Integers are.?
A) short
B) int
C) long
D) All the above
Answer [=]
D
Explanation:

Size of int < long.



8) Types of Real numbers in C are.?
A) float
B) double
C) long double
D) All the above
Answer [=]
D
Explanation:

Size of float < double < long double

9) signed and unsigned representation is available for.?
A) short, int, long, char
B) float, double, long double
C) A & B
D) None of the above
Answer [=]
C
Explanation:

Real numbers like float, double and long double do not support unsigned representation.

10) Size of a Turbo C C++ compiler is.?
A) 16 bit
B) 32 bit
C) 64 bit
D) 128 bit
Answer [=]
A
11) Size of a GCC or Visual Studio C Compiler is.?
A) 16 bit
B) 32 bit
C) 64 bit
D) 128 bit
Answer [=]
B
12) Sizes of short, int and long in a Turbo C C++ compiler in bytes are.?
A) 2, 2, 4
B) 2, 4, 4
C) 4, 8, 16
D) 8, 8, 16
Answer [=]
A
13) Sizes of short, int and long in Visual Studio or GCC compiler in bytes are.?
A) 2, 2, 4
B) 2, 4, 4
C) 4, 4, 8
D) 4, 8, 8
Answer [=]
B
14) Range of signed char and unsigned char are.?
A) -128 to +127 0 to 255
B) 0 to 255 -128 to +127
C) -128 to -1 0 to +127
D) 0 to +127 -128 to -1
Answer [=]
A
Explanation:

Advantage of an unsigned representation is only to increase the upper limit i.e positive limit. Size of a char remains same i.e 1 Byte.



15) Ranges of signed int and unsigned int are.?
A) 0 to 65535 -32768 to +32767
B) -32768 to +32767 0 to 65535
C) -32767 to +32768 0 to 65536
D) 0 to 65536 -32767 to +32768
Answer [=]
B
Explanation:

Default assumption is Turbo C/C++, 16 bit compiler. Size of an int is 2 bytes for both signed and unsigned representation.

16) Size of float, double and long double in Bytes are.?
A) 4, 8, 16
B) 4, 8, 10
C) 2, 4, 6
D) 4, 6, 8
Answer [=]
B
Explanation:

Real numbers are represented in float, double and long double format.

eg. float interest = 12.55f;
