1. What will be the output of the following C code?

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int a[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 5; i++)
if ((char)a[i] == ‘5’)
printf(“%d\n”, a[i]);
else
printf(“FAIL\n”);
}

a) The compiler will flag an error
b) The program will compile and print the output 5
c) The program will compile and print the ASCII value of 5
d) The program will compile and print FAIL for 5 times

FILE *file;
file = fopen(“test.txt”, “w+”);
fprintf(file, “%c”, ‘a’);
fprintf(file, “%c”, -1);
fprintf(file, “%c”, ‘b’);
fclose(file);
file = fopen(“test.txt”, “r”);
while ((c = fgetc(file)) != -1)
printf(“%c”, c);
