A.6 4

B.1 3

C.7 2

D.6 1

Answer - Option D

Explanation:

Here initially q =13

When for loops starts, p =1

Then, r = q % p

= 13 % 1

=0

p will be p + 5

p=1+5

=6

Then q is overwritten as

q=p+r

=6+0

=6

Then the loop will end because p is already 6 now

Now, r = q / 5

=6/5

=1

So q = 6 and r = 1
Answer is option D
