The following procedure finds the highest amount of bill generated at Sun General from the Shopping Bills dataset. But the programmer may have made mistakes in one or more steps. Identify all such steps (if any). Step 1. Arrange all cards in a single pile called Pile 1 Step 2. Maintain a variable max and initialize it to 0 Step 3. If Pile 1 is empty then stop the iteration Step 4. Read the top card in Pile 1 Step 5. If the shop name is Sun General and max > total bill amount then store total bill amount in max Step 6. Move the current card to another pile called Pile 2 and repeat from step 3

What will `A` represent at the end of the execution? ``` A = 0 while(Table 1 has more rows){ Read the first row X in Table 1 B = True if(X.Physics >= 70){ B = False } if(X.Chemistry >= 70){ B = False } if(X.Mathematics >= 70){ B = False } if(B){ A = A + 1 } Move X to Table 2 } ```

The given pseudocode is executed using the "Scores" dataset. There is a hypothesis that if a student performs well overall, i.e. scores at least total 180 marks, then the student must have performed well in all the subjects, i.e. scored at least 60 marks in each subject. At the end of execution, `fracTrue` stores the fraction of students who satisfy this hypothesis. Choose the correct code fragment to complete the pseudocode. ``` countOverall = 0, countPerSub = 0 while(Table 1 has more rows){ Read the first row X in Table 1 if(X.Total >= 180){ ************************** * Fill the code * ************************** } Move X to Table 2 } fracTrue = countPerSub / countOverall ```
