Right @Astha,

Then why it shows 2, 2, 2, 2 in the second row?
Astha said:   5 years ago
*(*a+1)+0 means a[1][0] element which is 3. So the output should be;

1, 1, 1, 1
2, 3, 2, 3
3, 2, 3, 2
4, 4, 4, 4

@Dilip.

How a+1 points to a[1] ?

a is 2D array
Logically a+1 means 1th 1D array of a.
Please explain briefly.

Simple process for solving it;

i < 2
Means i has maximum value i =1
j <2
Same for j
j =1

According to the question;
P + i + j = a[2] = 3.

So, ' C ' is the correct answer.
