Following two
Questions are based on the
same data: (n)= no. in box 1
Q1= If the output of the following
algo is box C. Then whic...
Solution :

These types of problems can be easily solved by following the algorithm steps .
Follow The initial values in the boxes are :

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
2 4 3 7 9 0 1 2 4 1 1

We can consider the collection of boxes as an array. So the contents of the array are :
A[1] A[2] A[3] A[4] A[5] A[6] A[7] A[8] A[9] A[10] A[11]
A[12]
2 4 3 7 9 0 1 2 4 1 1

Now initially after Step 1 & Step 2, the values in the array are :
A[1] A[2] A[3] A[4] A[5] A[6] A[7] A[8] A[9] A[10] A[11] A[12]
2 4 3 7 9 0 1 0 4 1 0 1

From here the iteration starts until the number in box (11) > 0 & it is divisible by 5. We can
rewrite the condition as :
(A[11] > 0) && (A[11] % 5 == 0)

Iteration 1 :
Step 3 : Add the number in box (8) and number in box (1) and put the result in box (8).
This is can be well understood as :
A[8] = A[8] + A[1]
= 0 +2
A[8] = 2
Follow
Step 4 : Add number in box (11) and 2 and put the sum in box (11).
i.e. A[11] = A[11] + 2

Step 5 : Check if (A[11] > 0) && (A[11] % 5 == 0) then EXIT.
Submit
Here the condition is not fulfilled hence the algorithm controls move to Step 6.
Delivered by FeedBurner

Step 6 : Increase the second box number in step 2 by 1.

In this step, we are changing step 3.Now the second box number will be (2).
So the step 3 becomes A[8] = A[8] + A[2].

The array after iteration 1 becomes :

A[1] A[2] A[3] A[4] A[5] A[6] A[7] A[8] A[9] A[10] A[11] A[12]
2 4 3 7 9 0 1 2 4 1 2 1

Iteration 2 :
Step 3 : A[8] = A[8] + A[2]
A[8] = 6

Step 4 :. A[11] = A[11] + 2

A[11] = 4

Step 5 : if (A[11] > 0) && (A[11] % 5 == 0) = FALSE

Hence the control moves to next step.
Step 6 : Now the second box number will be (3).
Step 3 becomes A[8] = A[8] + A[3].

The array after iteration 2 is :

A[1] A[2] A[3] A[4] A[5] A[6] A[7] A[8] A[9] A[10] A[11] A[12]
2 4 3 7 9 0 1 6 4 1 4 1

Iteration 3 :
Step 3 : A[8] = A[8] + A[3]
A[8] = 9

Step 4 : A[11] = A[11] + 2

A[11] = 6

Step 5 : if (A[11] > 0) && (A[11] % 5 == 0) = FALSE.

Hence the control moves to next step.

Step 6 : Now the second box number will be (4).

Step 3 becomes A[8] = A[8] + A[4].

The array after iteration 3 is:

A[1] A[2] A[3] A[4] A[5] A[6] A[7] A[8] A[9] A[10] A[11] A[12]
2 4 3 7 9 0 1 9 4 1 6 1

Iteration 4 :
Step 3 : A[8] = A[8] + A[4]
A[8] = 16

Step 4 : A[11] = A[11] + 2

A[11] = 8

Step 5 : if (A[11] > 0) && (A[11] % 5 == 0) = FALSE.

Hence the control moves to next step.

Step 6 : Now the second box number will be (5).

Step 3 becomes A[8] = A[8] + A[5].

The array after iteration 4 is :

A[1] A[2] A[3] A[4] A[5] A[6] A[7] A[8] A[9] A[10] A[11] A[12]
2 4 3 7 9 0 1 16 4 1 8 1

Iteration 5 :
Step 3 : A[8] = A[8] + A[5]
A[8] = 25

Step 4 : A[11] = A[11] + 2 Follow

A[11] = 10
