For the output of the program to be "Try again!", the condition specified in the IF statement needs to evaluate to false. The condition is:

num < 10 AND num > 30

For this AND condition to be true, num would have to be both less than 10 and greater than 30 at the same time, which is impossible. Therefore, the output would default to "Try again!" in any case where the condition does not hold true.

So, for the output to be "Try again!", the input needs to be any number because:

  1. If num < 10 (which would output “Good!”) does not hold true.
  2. If num > 30 (which would also output “Good!”) does not hold true.
  3. Any number between 10 and 30 (inclusive) would also cause the condition to evaluate to false.

The correct answer is any number or any number less than 10 or greater than 30. Specifically, any number that is less than 10 or between 10 and 30 would also lead to the output "Try again!".

If you want precise examples rather than just "any number," then the following responses fit your question:

  1. A number less than 10 (e.g., 5)
  2. A number between 10 and 30 (e.g., 20)
  3. A number greater than 30 (e.g., 35)

For clarity based on your options, the answer includes:

  • "a number less than 10"
  • or "a number between 10 and 30."
