A) Yajurveda B) Atharvaveda
C) Rigveda D) Samaveda
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Atharvaveda

Explanation:

Ayurveda Owes its Origin to Atharvaveda.

 

The early history of ayurveda asserts that around 1500 BC, ayurveda's fundamental and applied principles got organised and enunciated. In this historical construction, Ayurveda traces its origins to the Vedas, Atharvaveda in particular, and is connected to Hindu religion. Atharvaveda (one of the four most ancient books of Indian knowledge, wisdom and culture) contains 114 hymns or formulations for the treatment of diseases. Ayurveda originated in and developed from these hymns. In this sense, ayurveda is considered by some to have divine origin. Indian medicine has a long history, and is one of the oldest organised systems of medicine. Its earliest concepts are set out in the sacred writings called the Vedas, especially in the metrical passages of the Atharvaveda.

Q:

What is the output after compile and run the following code ?

int Output = 10;
boolean b = false;
if((b == true) && ((Output += 10) == 20))
{
System.out.println("We are equal " + Output);
}
else
{
System.out.println("Not equal! " + Output);
}

A) Compilation and output of "We are equal 10" B) Compilation and output of "Not equal! 10"
C) Compilation error, attempting to perform binary comparison on logical data type D) Compilation and output of "Not equal! 20"
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Compilation and output of "Not equal! 10"

Explanation:

The output will be "Not equal! 10". Please note that && is logical AND operator. If first operand before (&&) is false then the other operand will not be evaluated. This illustrates that the Output +=10 calculation was never performed because processing stopped after the first operand was evaluated to be false. If you change the value of b1 to true, processing occurs as you would expect and the output would be "We are equal 20".
