Answer

The loop executes two times.

Output

20
22

Explanation:

Step-by-Step Execution of the Code

Initial Value of x:
x = 10

Iteration 1:
System.out.println(x++ * 2);

x++ → Use the current value of x (10), then increment x to 11.
Output: 10 * 2 = 20

if (x % 3 == 0):

x = 11, so 11 % 3 = 2 → Condition is false.

Iteration 2:
System.out.println(x++ * 2);

x++ → Use the current value of x (11), then increment x to 12.
Output: 11 * 2 = 22

if (x % 3 == 0):

x = 12, so 12 % 3 = 0 → Condition is true.

break;

The break statement exits the loop.
