Answer / muhammad abdul aleem
I doubt if 05 level number will work or not.
But if it works the here is the answer.
Add 40,x to x means X = 10 + 40 + 10 =60
then
x = 60*3 -40
x=180-40
= 140
Since X = 99 so value will be 40
Therefore, Value of X will be 40...

Answer / rama krishna
Answer is again 10.
Add 40 to x :
x + 40 : 10 + 40 = 50
X = 3*X - 40
3 * x = 50 * 3 = 150, but since x declared as PIC 99, 1
will be truncated from 150. so now the value of x would be
50. so 50 - 40 is again 10.

Answer / neelam
I agree with all of them who have answered 40.
It is a simple statement in cobol that
ADD A B TO C. (Means (A+B)+C moved in C)
Here,
ADD 40 X TO X ()
Value of X is 10
So, ADD 40 10 TO 10 (Gives 40+10+10 = 60)
Now, COMPUTE X = 3 * X - 40
Means X = 3 * 60 - 40 (Gives 180 - 40 = 140 )
Since PIC clause for X is 99, hence 140 can't be store in
variable X.
So answer is : 40

Answer / kumar l
ADD 40 X to X means : 40+X will add to X and result will
be stored in X - Result is 60
Compute X = 3 * X - 40 means : 3*60-40 = 140.
So X value is 140.

Answer / suputhru
I agree with Rama Krishna ans: 10
05 X PIC 99 VALUE 10.
ADD 40 X TO X. ----------- x=x+40 x=10+40 x=50
COMPUTE X = 3 * X - 40.------x=(3*50)-40 x=150-40 x=110 since x pic 99--
finally x=10
