1.
In a file contains the line "I am a boy\r\n" then on reading this line into the array str using fgets(). What will str contain?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Declaration: char *fgets(char *s, int n, FILE *stream);
fgets reads characters from stream into the string s. It stops when it reads either n - 1 characters or a newline character, whichever comes first.
Therefore, the string str contain "I am a boy\n\0"

Considering all your explanations about \r.
What will str contain if file contains: "india\rbix"?

Depends on the OS guys. In windows, the line break is \r\n but in linux the line break is \n. So when it reads \r, it automatically understands that it has reached end of line and hence stops further input. GCC must have done the same to allow consistency between various OSes. Not sure though.

I didn't get your example.
\r is to move cursor to left most position in the current line
printf("india\rbix");
Here output must be, first it prints india then \r so again cursor is moved to left most position right?
Please help me this doubt.

And the question still remains the same. Why not ?
"\r\r\n" is stored and why not?
"\r\n" is returned?
"\r\r\n" is stored and why not?
"\r\n" is returned?
