Answer Key
1 – d,
2 -b,
3 – a,
4-d,
5–c,
6 – b [Explanation: Variable names should not start with a number.] ,
7 – a [Explanation: indicates private variables of a class, not be accessed from outside
the class.]
8 – b [Explanation : no restriction in the length of variables]
9 – c [Explanation : try is a keyword]
10 – a [ Explanation : follow : PEMDAS]
11- b
12 - b
13 – b [Exp: pow(x,y,z)= (x**y) % z]
14 – f [Exp: The all () function returns True if all items in an iterable are true, otherwise it
returns False.]
15. None of these [Exp : 1234]
16 - a
17 - False [Exp. “False” is considered as value zero]
18 – d
19 – 6 [The function len() returns the length of the number of elements in the iterable.
Therefore the output of the function shown above is 6.]
20 – c
21 – c
22 – d
23 – c
24 – b
25 – a [Explanation: The first letter of the string is converted to uppercase and the others
are converted to lowercase]
26 – d
27 - a [Exp: in 1st extend the elements present in list1 , not in list 2 and 3 i.e., 1,3 in 2 nd
extend the elements present in list 2 but not in list 1 and 3 i.e., 5 and similarly in last
extends the elements present in list 3 but not in list 1 and 2 i.e., 7 and 8, therefore all
together : [1, 3, 5, 7, 8]]
28 – c
29 – b
30 – c
