Solution(By Examveda Team)

Here if statement is executed since we know that printf() function return the number of character print.
Here printf("%d", i) return 2 because it print 1 and newline i.e 2.
And, printf("%d', j) return 3 because it print -1 and newline i.e number of character is 3.
Therefore if statement look like if(2<3) yes its true.
So if statement will execute. And answer is 1 -1 1.
