The problem asks us to determine the output sequence of the variable $num$ when the provided pseudocode is executed. The pseudocode involves a loop that continues until the variable $x$ is greater than or equal to the variable $num$. Inside the loop, $x$ is incremented by 5, $num$ is decremented by $x$, and $num$ is printed.

1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to determine the output sequence of the variable numnum when the provided pseudocode is executed. The pseudocode involves a loop that continues until the variable xx is greater than or equal to the variable numnum. Inside the loop, xx is incremented by 5, numnum is decremented by xx, and numnum is printed.

2. Solution Steps

We need to trace the values of xx and numnum during each iteration of the loop.
Initialization:
x=10x = 10
num=50num = 50
Loop 1:
Condition: x(10)>=num(50)x (10) >= num (50) is false.
x=x+5=10+5=15x = x + 5 = 10 + 5 = 15
num=numx=5015=35num = num - x = 50 - 15 = 35
Print numnum: 35
Loop 2:
Condition: x(15)>=num(35)x (15) >= num (35) is false.
x=x+5=15+5=20x = x + 5 = 15 + 5 = 20
num=numx=3520=15num = num - x = 35 - 20 = 15
Print numnum: 15
Loop 3:
Condition: x(20)>=num(15)x (20) >= num (15) is false.
x=x+5=20+5=25x = x + 5 = 20 + 5 = 25
num=numx=1525=10num = num - x = 15 - 25 = -10
Print numnum: -10
Loop 4:
Condition: x(25)>=num(10)x (25) >= num (-10) is true.
The loop terminates.
Therefore, the output sequence of numnum is 35,15,1035, 15, -10. However, this is not one of the options. The closest options are (3) 35,

5. I am missing the end condition to correctly calculate the sequence of $num$ values. Going back and re-examining the pseudo-code reveals an "Until x >= num" statement which implies that the loop ends once $x$ becomes greater than or equal to $num$. The important operations are $x = x + 5$ and $num = num - x$.

Round 1:
x=10,num=50x = 10, num = 50
x>=numx >= num is false.
x=10+5=15x = 10 + 5 = 15
num=5015=35num = 50 - 15 = 35
Print num=35num = 35
Round 2:
x=15,num=35x = 15, num = 35
x>=numx >= num is false.
x=15+5=20x = 15 + 5 = 20
num=3520=15num = 35 - 20 = 15
Print num=15num = 15
Round 3:
x=20,num=15x = 20, num = 15
x>=numx >= num is true, exit loop.

3. Final Answer

(3) 35, 15
