   ELSEIF ( a = 75 ) THEN
      dbms_output.put_line('Value of a is 20' );
   ELSE
       dbms_output.put_line('None of the values is matching');
   END IF;
   dbms_output.put_line('Exact value of a is: '|| a ); 
END;

A - It has syntax error.

B - It will print 'None of the values is matching'.

C - It will print

   ELSIF ( a = 75 )
      dbms_output.put_line('Value of a is 20' );

    ...
    ELSE Sn;  -- default case
END CASE;

A - It is wrongly written.

B - It is perfectly written.

C - It is you can specify the literal NULL for all the S expressions and the default S_n.

D - All the expressions like the selector, the value and the returns values, need not be of the same data type.

Q 25 - What is the output of the following code?

DECLARE
   grade char(1) := 'B';
BEGIN
   case 
      when grade = 'A' then dbms_output.put_line('Excellent');
