Instructions

The pages of a book are numbered 0, 1, 2 . upto M, M>0. There are four categories of instructions that direct a person in positioning the book at a page. The instruction types and their meanings are :
1. OPEN : Position the book at page No. 1
2. CLOSE : Position the book at page No. 0
3. FORWARD, n :From the current page move forward by n pages; if, in this process, page number M is reached, stop at M.
4. BACKWARD, n : From the current page, move backward by n pages; if in this process, page number 0 is reached, stop at page number 0.
In each of the following questions, you will find a sequence of instructions formed from the above categories. In each case, let n1 be the page number before the instructions are executed and n2 be the page number at which the book is positioned after the instructions are executed.

Question 44

FORWARD, 5; BACKWARD, 4. Which of the following statements about the above instructions is true?

Solution

For option A, put $$n_1$$ = 1, then $$n_2$$ will be 2 , hence equation won't hold true.
Now for option B, if we say M = 5 , then $$n_1$$ will be 0 and $$n_2$$ will be 1, hence equation won't hold true.
And equation in option D will not hold true too as put M = 5 , then $$n_1$$ will be 0 and $$n_2$$ will be 1.
Now in option C, equation is valid as put $$n_1$$ = 1 , then $$n_2$$ will be 2. Which is holding the equation valid too.
Hence our answer will be C.
