Point out the error in the program?
#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
    FILE *fp;
    fp=fopen("trial", "r");
    fseek(fp, "20", SEEK_SET);
    fclose(fp);
    return 0;
}
Error: unrecognised Keyword SEEK_SET
Error: fseek() long offset value
No error
None of above
Answer: Option

Instead of "20" use 20L since fseek() need a long offset value.

seek_set = Cursor moves to first letter of the file .
