Question 1 to 3
What will be the values of A, B and C after execution of the following procedure using the "Scores"
dataset?

Step 1: Arrange all cards in a single pile called Pile 1

Step 2: Maintain three variables A, B, C and initialize them to 0

Step 3: If Pile 1 is empty then stop the iteration

Step 4: Read the top card in Pile 1

Step 5: If Date of Birth < "1 May" then increment A

Step 6: If Date of Birth > "30 April" and Date of Birth < "1 September" then increment B

Step 7: If Date of Birth > "31 August" then increment C

Step 8: Move the current card to another pile called Pile 2 and repeat from step 3

Question 1 [2 Marks]

The value of A is _ _ _ _ ?

Question 2 [2 Marks]

The value of B is _ _ _ _ ?

Question 3 [2 Marks]

The value of C is _ _ _ _ ?
Question 4 [4 Marks]
What will variable A represent after execution of the following procedure on the "Words" dataset?

Step 1: Arrange all cards in a single pile called Pile 1

Step 2: Maintain two variables A, B and initialize them to 0

Step 3: If Pile 1 is empty then stop the iteration

Step 4: Read the top card in Pile 1

Step 5: If Part of speech is "Noun" then increment B

Step 6: If the Word does not end with a full stop then execute step 9

Step 7: If the Word ends with a full stop and B is equal to 1 then increment A

Step 8: Reset the variable B to 0

Step 9: Move the current card to another pile called Pile 2 and repeat from step 3

(a) Total number of nouns in the dataset

(b) Total number of sentences with only one noun in it

(c) Total number of sentences in the dataset

(d) Total number of sentences with at least one noun in it

Question 5 [5 Marks]
The given procedure finds the category which has generated the higher revenue between
"Electronics" and "Stationery" when executed on the "Shopping Bills" dataset. Fill in the blanks
from the given choices and complete the procedure.

Step 1: Arrange all cards in a single pile called Pile 1

Step 2: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Step 3: If Pile 1 is empty then stop the iteration and start from step 8

Step 4: Read the top card in Pile 1

Step 5: If the bill contains one or more items with Category "Electronics" then add Cost of all such
items to Ecost

Step 6: If the bill contains one or more items with Category "Stationery" then add Cost of all such
items to Scost

Step 7: Move the current card to another pile called Pile 2 and repeat from step 3

Step 8: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Step 9: If Ecost Scost then store "Electronics" in higher

Step 10: If Scost Ecost then store "Stationery" in higher

a. Step 2: Maintain two variables Ecost, Scost and initialize them to 0

Step 8: Maintain a variable higher and initialize it to 0

b. Step 2: Maintain two variables Ecost, Scost and initialize them to "None"

Step 8: Maintain a variable higher and initialize it to "None"

c. Step 2: Maintain two variables Ecost, Scost and initialize them to 0

Step 8: Maintain a variable higher and initialize it to "None"

d. Step 2: Maintain two variables Ecost, Scost and initialize them to "None"

Step 8: Maintain a variable higher and initialize it to 0

Step 1: Arrange all cards in a single pile called Pile 1

Step 2: Maintain three variables A, B, C and initialize them to 0

Step 3: If Pile 1 is empty then stop the iteration and start from step 9

Step 4: Read the top card in Pile 1

Step 5: If the Shop name is "SV Stores" and Customer name is "Neeraja" then set A equal to 1

Step 6: If the Shop name is "Big Bazaar" and Customer name is "Neeraja" then set B equal to 1

Step 7: If the Shop name is "Sun General" and Customer name is "Neeraja" then set C equal to 1

Step 8: Move the current card to another pile called Pile 2 and repeat from step 3

Step 9: Maintain a variable X and initialize it to 0

Step 10: If A is equal to 1 then increment X

Step 11: If B is equal to 1 then increment X

Step 12: If C is equal to 1 then increment X
