GO BOTTOM and SKIP-3 commands are given one after another in a database file…

Solution: Determine the position after each command.

• Step 1: GO BOTTOM moves the pointer to the last record, which is record number 30.

• Step 2: SKIP -3 moves three records backward from the current position.

• Step 3: Calculate the result: 30 (current) - 3 = 27, so the control shifts to the 27th record.

Note: A positive SKIP n moves forward n records; a negative SKIP (for example SKIP -3) moves backward n records.
