Solution

The correct answer is Option 3) C, D, A, E, B

Key Points

Key Points (C operator precedence – higher → lower)

• Shift: <<, >> (left-to-right)
• Relational: <, <=, >, >= (left-to-right)
• Logical AND: && (left-to-right)
• Conditional: ?: (right-to-left)
• Assignment: =, +=, -=, … (right-to-left)

Mapping the given operators

• C. >> → Shift group (highest among the five)
• D. >= → Relational group
• A. && → Logical AND group
• E. ?: → Conditional operator
• B. += → Assignment group (lowest among the five)

Therefore, from higher to lower precedence: >> > >= > && > ?: > += which corresponds to C → D → A → E → B.

Quick sanity check

• In an expression like x >> 1 >= y && cond ? u : v += 3, the shift happens before the comparison, the comparison before &&, then the conditional ?:, and finally the assignment—consistent with the order above.
