Decimal a = 2.5m; decimal b = 4.0m; decimal c = 12.7m; int i = 4; int j = 8; int k = 17; What is the value of x after the following statement is executed? decimal x = (decimal) i / (decimal) j; a. 1.0 b. 0.5 c. 2.0 d. 0.0

Option b (0.5) is the correct answer for the above question.

Step-by-step explanation:

The above code is written in the C# language. The first three statements are used to declare the three decimal variable and initialize them by some value. But this has no use in the above code. Then there are the other three statemen which is used to declare the three variable of type integer which names are i, j and k and initialize them to a value 4,8 and 17. Then the expression "decimal x = (decimal) i / (decimal) j; ", intialize the value 0.5 to the x variable. It is because the i and j value will be typecast in the decimal value and then i is divided by j. It means (4.0) is divided by (8.0) which gives the result 0.5. Hence option b is the correct answer while the other is not because the other option is not the value of the x variable.
