we need to fill 13,10,7 and 4 with double number. (No flow chart here..........)
Starting with 13 th box---->2x next box number will changed to 10.
let say number in box 14) greater than the second box-number 10 ----->no
So I am considering loop goes to 1st instruction and again number in 10+number in 10---->
again 10 becomes 7 next 7 becomes 4 next 4 becomes (4-3) 1.
Here, as per the 3rd statement :(number in box 14) greater than the second box-number 1---->
If it is 1>1 it is flase.
So next number 2>1 ----> True and loop ends & comes to end.
So number in box 14 is 2.
