(a)1000 (b)964 (c)1024 (d)1064
2. Complete the sequence of following binary numbers :
100, 101, 110, ............... , ................
3. Which of the following is not a valid encoding scheme for characters ?
(a)ASCII (b)ISCII (c)Unicode (d)ESCII
4. Which of the following is a valid identifier in Python ?
(a)my name (b)_myname (c)My$name (d)my-name
5. Value 0.000615 is equivalent to __________.
(a)615E3 (b)615E-3 (c)0.615E3 (d)0.615E-3
6. Select the correct output of the following String operations.
str=”my name is Anu John”
print([Link]())
(a)'My name is anu john' (b)TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for * : 'str' and 'int'
(c)'My name is Anu John' (d)'My Name Is Anu John'
7. What is the output of the following code?
my_dict = {"apple": 3, "banana": 2, "cherry": 5}
keys = my_dict.keys()
print(keys)
(a) ["apple", "banana", "cherry"] (b) ["apple"]
(c) ["banana"] (d) dict_keys(["apple", "banana", "cherry"])
Q8, Q9 and Q10 are ASSERTION AND REASONING based questions. Mark the correct choice as
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation for A
(b) Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation for A
(c) A is True but R is False
(d) A is false but R is True
8. Assertion (A): List is an immutable data type.
Reasoning (R): When an attempt is made to update the value of an immutable variable, the
old variable is destroyed and a new variable is created by the same name
in memory.
9. Assertion (A): In Python, the if-else statement can be used to execute a block of code only
if a given condition is True.
1
Reasoning (R): The else block is optional and will be executed if the condition in the if
statement is False.
10. Assertion (A): A tuple with a single element must include a trailing comma to be
correctly identified as a tuple in Python.
Reasoning (R): A tuple with one element is the same as the type of that element without
the comma.
