nn
C. mmm
a
n
D. man
mma
nna
Ans: A
 Explanation: s[i],
*(i+s), *(s+i), i[s] are all different ways of expressing the same idea. Generally
array name is the base address for that array. Here s is the base address. i is the index
number/displacement from the base address. So, indirecting it with * is same as s[i]. i[s] may be
surprising. But in the case of C it is same as s[i].

for(j=0;j<5;j++) {
printf(" %d ",*c);
++q; }
for(j=0;j<5;j++){printf(" %d ",*p);
++p; }

B. 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 4 6 5
C. 2 2 2 2 6 7
D. 7 6 5 2 1 2
Ans: B
Explanation: Initially
pointer c is assigned to both p and q. In the first loop, since only q is
incremented and not c , the value 2 will be printed 5 times. In second loop p itself is incremented.
So the values 2 3 4 6 5 will be printed.
