Answer: Python Puzzler #1462

The answer is B. The program prints:

7 1

Checked by running the program for real.

// divides and throws away the remainder: each friend gets 7 sweets. % gives the remainder: 1 sweet left over.

A trace table follows the program step by step. Here’s this one:

sum	answer
36 // 5	7
36 % 5	1

sweets = 36
friends = 5
print(sweets // friends, sweets % friends)

Try it: change one number in the program and predict the new output before you run it.
