i hope u have to cheet it once because here i use endif. after first if.

if a = 1 means . tha will perform c. a = 2 means it will come esle if part.

and elseif belongs to first if .


second if will be terminated by end if.

i think it will give compilation error as there is period after end-if.
hence next else will be wrong. same way after perform c.
if code is somewhat llike only one period after perform D then i think answer will be 3.
i.e. a=2 then it will come to next if part and then if b=2 then it will cme to else part and execute D.
ayyappa_22523 can you please check the period, where it should be exactly.

I think you should use code-indent method to code your codes, that will make it easier to solve this question.

hai radhakrishnan v ,
code indent methos is nothing but all the if,else and end-if should come in the same line so that you better way to describe the code. For example:
Code:

if a= 1 then
   if b=1 then   
         preform c
   end- if
else
   if b =1 then
      perform c
   else     
      perfom d.


I hope this is what flyingSnailmeant. If wrong then please correct me.
