To understand the output of the program, let’s analyze the provided code snippet step by step:

  1. The program takes an input from the user, which we are told is 25.

  2. The condition being evaluated is:

    IF num > 20 AND num < 22
    
  3. We need to check if the condition is true when num is 25:

    • num > 20 evaluates to true (since 25 is greater than 20).
    • num < 22 evaluates to false (since 25 is not less than 22).
  4. Since the condition uses the AND operator, both parts must be true for the overall condition to be true. In this case, one part is true and the other is false, meaning the overall condition evaluates to false.

  5. Given that the condition is false, the program will execute the ELSE block, which outputs:

    OUTPUT "Invalid."
    

Therefore, since the user enters 25, the output of the program will be:

Invalid.
