It is 10. The below program will prove this

Declare @x int = 1



Select 

case when @x <= 11 then

case when @x <= 10 then

case when @x <= 9 then

    case when @x <= 8 then

        case when @x <= 7 then

            case when @x <= 5 then

                case when @x <= 4 then 

                   case when @x <= 3 then 

                     case when @x <= 2 then

                       case when @x<= 1 then

                          case when @x <= 0 then

                             10

End End End End End End End End End End
