total += n
End If
Next

Console.WriteLine(total)

1. 30
2. 50
3. 70
4. 100

Answer: C) 70

Explanation:

The condition keeps values greater than 20, which are 30 and 40. Their sum is 70, so the program prints 70.

50. What does the following VB.NET LINQ query return?

Dim numbers() As Integer = {5, 10, 15, 20, 25}

Dim result = From n In numbers
Where n > 10
Select n

1. 5, 10
2. 10, 15, 20
3. 15, 20, 25
4. 5, 15, 25

Answer: C) 15, 20, 25

Explanation:

The LINQ query filters the array with Where n > 10. Therefore, 15, 20, and 25 satisfy the condition and are returned by the Select clause.
