Explanation / Answer

PART A:

Answer : 6
Including the original call to mystery method, it was being called by 6 times.

mystery(100)
mystery(100/2)->x=50
mystery(50/3)->x=16
mystery(16/2)->x=8
mystery(8/3)->x=2
mystery(2) ->return

PART B:

If the value of x is less than 5, it will simply return.

PART C:

If the parameter value (x) is less than 5, then mystery method wont get executed and return back to where the function call is being made.
