Asked In: BPSC TRE 3.0

Options

  • A. 142
  • B. 213
  • C. 284
  • D. More than one of the above
  • E. None of the above

Correct Answer (Detailed Explanation is Below)

E. None of the above

Detailed Explanation

The expression as written is an incomplete postfix expression. First, 10 5 + gives 15, and 60 6 / gives 10. Multiplying these results gives 15 × 10 = 150. However, the final 8 remains on the stack without an operator to combine it with another value. A valid postfix expression should finish with exactly one value on the stack. Therefore, as written, the expression cannot produce 142, 213, or 284, making None of the above the appropriate answer.
