1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to determine the output of a given flowchart, starting with initial values for variables aa and bb.

2. Solution Steps

- The flowchart starts with a=2a = 2 and b=10b = 10.
- The first decision is to check if a>ba > b. Since 2>102 > 10 is false, we proceed to the "No" branch.
- In the "No" branch, we update bb to bab - a. So, b=102=8b = 10 - 2 = 8.
- Then, we display the current value of bb, which is 88.
- The flowchart then ends.

3. Final Answer

The output of the flowchart is

8. The correct answer is 4) 8.
