Question

question 12 what would be printed to the screen when the following program is run? def returnnumber(x): return x *5 print(returnnumber(2)) options: 2, 5, 10, 25

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the function

The function returnNumber(x) is defined to return \( x * 5 \).

Step2: Substitute the input value

We need to find the result of returnNumber(2). Substitute \( x = 2 \) into the function: \( 2 * 5 = 10 \). Then, print(returnNumber(2)) will print the result of the function call, which is 10. Wait, but wait, maybe I misread. Wait, no, let's check again. Wait, the function is returnNumber(x) with return x 5. So when we call returnNumber(2), it's \( 2 * 5 = 10 \)? But the options have 2,5,10,25. Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, no, let's re-express. Wait, the function is returnNumber(x): return x 5. So input 2: 25=10. So the print statement will output 10. Wait, but the options: 2,5,10,25. So 10 is an option. Wait, maybe I misread the function. Wait, the user's image: the function is returnNumber(x) with return x 5? Wait, no, maybe the function is recursive? Wait, no, the code is print(returnNumber(2)) and the function returnNumber(x) returns \( x *5 \). So 2*5=10. So the answer should be 10. Wait, but let's check again.

Wait, maybe the function is different. Wait, the user's image: the code is:

def returnNumber(x):
return x *5

print(returnNumber(2))

So substituting x=2, we get 2*5=10. So the output is 10.

Answer:

10 (corresponding to the option with 10, assuming the options are 2,5,10,25, so the correct option is the one with 10, e.g., if the options are A.2, B.5, C.10, D.25, then the answer is C.10)
