Q5.)
A stack is a first-in last-out data structure. By using the stack, a device changes the
order of data received from the right side and sends it to the left side, as shown in the
figure below. There are three types of operations available on the device, as described
below.
(1) Data received from the right side is sent to the left side without any alteration.
(2) Data received from the right side is pushed into the top of the stack.
(3) Data popped out of the top of the stack is sent to the left side.
When the device receives X, Y, and Z in this order from the right side, which of the
following is the order in which the device cannot send them to the left side even if the
operations (1) to (3) are combined?
