To determine the output of the program, let's analyze the condition in the IF statement:

The condition is:

IF num < 10 AND num > 30

This condition checks if the number (num) is both less than 10 and greater than 30 at the same time, which is logically impossible. Therefore, this condition can never be true for any number.

The ELSE part of the program will execute whenever the IF condition is false, which means the output will be "Try again!" for any input given.

Now, let's look at the response options. The correct input to produce the output “Try again!” can be:

  • a number greater than 30
  • a number less than 30
  • any number
  • a number less than 10

Since any number entered leads to the ELSE part being executed, the answer is that any number will result in "Try again!".

So, the correct answer is: any number
