In printf statement there is no format specifier like %s,%c,%d,etc, that's why it is printing the first letter i.e India.
India is the correct option, there are no comma concepts.

In the case of printf statement once comma is read then it will consider preceding things as variable or values for format specifier.

In example:
prinf("Indian","Bix"); here printf() get input string from double quota.
And display on console. So there is no need of store string into stack. In that example "India" is caught on first double quota and then comma operator terminate the string so only India is printed.
In case of a = 5+(1, 2, 3) bracket has higher precedence.
And 1, 2, 3 is stored on stack, so only 3 is popped from stack and addition is performed. Use stack rules last in first out.

Comma operator has associativity left to right.
In case of a=5+ (1, 2, 3) bracket has higher precedence and hence it returns the rightmost operator i.e. 3.
So, I think "India" is correct output.

So this answer is not correct because comma oprerator have assosiativity right to left.

Associativity of comma operator is right to left.
So the answer should be BIX.
So the answer should be BIX.

I am confuse about comma operator. One ex is a=5 (1, 2, 3) ;result is 8 we discard 1 and 2 and assume 3, why we could do this type on the program answer is "BIX" what different on both. Please tell me.
