What is printed by the print statements in the program P1 assuming call by reference parameter passing?

Program P1()
{
   x = 10;
   y = 3;
   func1(y,x,x);
   print x;
   print y;
}
func1(x,y,z)
{
   y = y+4;
   z = x+y+z;
}

A	10, 3

Question 19 Explanation:

Here, variable x of func1 points to address of variable y.
And variable y and z of func1 points to address of variable x.
Therefore, y = y+4 ⇒ y = 10+4 = 14
and z = x+y+z ⇒ z = 14+14+3 = 31
z will be stored back in k.
Hence, x=31 and y will remain as it is (y=3).
Hence, answer is (B).

Correct Answer: B
