Use the BASIC program below to answer questions 23 to 25

10 LET K = 2

20 LET L = 9

30 LET SUM = 0

 40 FOR J = K TO STEP 2

50 SUM = SUM + J\(^2\)

60 PRINT "ANSWER =", SUM

70 NEXT J

80 END

How many times will the statement lines 50 and 60 be repeated?

The statement lines 50 and 60 will be repeated 4 times.

Here's why:

- The FOR loop (line 40) starts at K (which is 2) and increments by 2 each time (STEP 2).
- The loop will run for J = 2, 4, 6, and 8 (since it stops at L, which is 9).
- The statements inside the loop (lines 50 and 60) will be executed for each of these values of J, so they will be repeated 4 times.
