Answer

The flowchart describes a process to find the maximum of three numbers, A, B, and C.

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Interpret the flowchart symbols and logic.

    • Start/End (Oval): Marks the beginning and end of the program.
    • Input/Output (Parallelogram): Used for reading input values (A, B, C) and displaying output (X).
    • Decision (Diamond): Represents a conditional check (e.g., "Is A > B?"). It has two branches: "Yes" (True) and "No" (False).
    • Process (Rectangle): Represents an assignment or calculation (e.g., "X = A").
  2. Trace the flow of execution.

    1. The program starts.
    2. It reads three numbers: A, B, and C.
    3. It checks if A is greater than B.
      • If "Yes", it assigns the value of A to X.
      • If "No" (meaning B is greater than or equal to A), it proceeds to the next decision.
    4. If A was not greater than B, it then checks if B is greater than C.
      • If "Yes", it assigns the value of B to X.
      • If "No" (meaning C is greater than or equal to B), it assigns the value of C to X.
    5. Finally, it prints the value stored in X.
    6. The program stops.
  3. Write the pseudocode based on the traced logic.

    START
      INPUT A, B, C
      IF A > B THEN
        X = A
      ELSE
        IF B > C THEN
          X = B
        ELSE
          X = C
        END IF
      END IF
      OUTPUT X
    STOP
    

    The pseudocode corresponding to the flowchart is:

    START
      INPUT A, B, C
      IF A > B THEN
        X = A
      ELSE
        IF B > C THEN
          X = B
        ELSE
          X = C
        END IF
      END IF
      OUTPUT X
    STOP
