QUESTION 3:
Consider the following piece of Python code. What is the output?
x = [4, 5, 6]
y = [str(x[0] + 1), str(len(x) * 2) + '&Code']
z = y[1].split('&')
print(z[1])

a) 5
b) 12
c) Code
d) &Code

Correct Answer: c. Code

Detailed Solution:
27
 1. x = [4, 5, 6]: A list with three elements.
2. y = [str(x[0] + 1), str(len(x) * 2) + '&Code']:
o x[0] is 4, so x[0] + 1 is 5, and str(x[0] + 1) becomes "5".
o len(x) is 3, so len(x) * 2 is 6, and str(len(x) * 2) + '&Code' becomes "6&Code".
o Therefore, y = ["5", "6&Code"].
3. z = y[1].split('&'):
o y[1] is "6&Code".
o Splitting "6&Code" by '&' gives ['6', 'Code'].
4. z[1] is 'Code'.
Thus, the print(z[1]) statement outputs Code.

QUESTION 13:

Data from an IoT device is transferred to cloud via a network, which is then processed at the
cloud and then a response is sent back to the IoT device from the cloud after processing. The
time it takes for one- way data transfer between the node and cloud is 10s and the data
processing time at the cloud is ‘x’ seconds. It takes a total of 25s for the entire to and fro
transfer of data between the sensor and cloud along with processing at the cloud. What is the
value of x?
a. 10s
