The attached flowchart represents a mathematical algorithm that takes three integers as inputs and delivers three integers as outputs. Processes are indicated by rectangular boxes and involve swapping values for the given variable. For instance, if x = 10 and y =5 at the first decision point, then the process tells you to swap the values, and x becomes 5 while y becomes 10. Based on the algorithm represented by the flowchart, use the drop-down menus to answer the following questions:
A. For which of the following inputs of x, y, and z (in that order) will y be the same value at the completion of the flowchart as it was at the beginning ?
B. For which of the following inputs of x, y, and z (in that order) will z = 3x at the end of the flowchart ?
Question #2 based on the same graph is available here

\(A. For which of the following inputs of x, y, and z (in that order) will y be the same value at the completion of the flowchart as it was at the beginning?\)
A. 5, -2, -5
X>Y Yes (Swap) = -2,5,-5
Y>Z Yes (Swap) = -2,-5,5
X>Y Yes (Swap) = -5,-2,5
Y Value is same in last as it was in beginning.
B. -1, 0, -3
X>Y No = -1, 0, -3
Y>Z Yes (Swap) = -1, -3, 0
X>Y Yes (Swap) = -3, -1, 0
Y Value is not same in last as it was in beginning. (Wrong)
C. 3, 5, 1
X>Y No = 3, 5, 1
Y>Z Yes (Swap) = 3, 1, 5
X>Y Yes (Swap) = 1, 3, 5
Y Value is not same in last as it was in beginning.(wrong)
Answer is A
\(B. For which of the following inputs of x, y, and z (in that order) will z = 3x at the end of the flowchart?\)
A. 2, 1, 6
X>Y Yes (Swap) = 1, 2, 6
Y>Z No = 1, 2, 6
X>Y No = 1, 2, 6
Putting value in Z=3X
6 ≠ 3(1) {Wrong}
B. -3, -1, -9
X>Y No = -3, -1, -9
Y>Z Yes (Swap) = -3, -9, -1
X>Y Yes (Swap) = -9, -3, -1
Putting value in Z=3X
-1 ≠ 3(-9) {Wrong}
C. 6, 2, 5
X>Y Yes (Swap) = 2, 6, 5
Y>Z Yes (Swap) = 2, 5, 6
X>Y No = 2, 5, 6
Putting value in Z=3X
6 = 3(2) {Right}
Answer is C

Sajjad1994 this question keeps being selected when I use the forum quiz, but it is impossible to check it right or wrong because there is something wrong with its formating (i think it is the OA is not selected).
