If the file 'source.txt' contains a line "Be my friend" which of the following will be the output of below program? #include int main() { FILE *fs, *ft; char c[10]; fs = fopen("source.txt", "r"); c[0] = getc(fs); fseek(fs, 0, SEEK_END); fseek(fs, -3L, SEEK_CUR); fgets(c, 5, fs); puts(c); return 0; }

Correct Answer: end

Explanation:

The file source.txt contains "Be my friend".


fseek(fs, 0, SEEK_END); moves the file pointer to the end of the file.


fseek(fs, -3L, SEEK_CUR); moves the file pointer backward by 3 characters.


fgets(c, 5, fs); read the file from the current position of the file pointer.


Hence, it contains the last 3 characters of "Be my friend".


Therefore, it prints "end".
