) Ais True but Ris False
d) Ais False butR is True
17. Assertion(A): InPython, List and Tuples are defined as an ordered sequence of elements having 1
data of same or different types.
Reason(R): The list elements are separated by commas and enclosed within [] brackets
whereas, the tuple elements are separated by commas and enclosed within() parentheses.
18. Assertion (A): If the arguments in function call statement match the number and order of 1
arguments as defined in the function definition, such arguments are called positional arguments.
Reason(R) During afunction call, the argument list first contains default argument(s) followed
by positional argument(s).
Section : B
19. The code given below accepts a number as an argument and returns the reverse number. 2
Observe the following code carefully and rewrite it after removing all syntax and logical errors.
Underline all the corrections made.
define revNumber(num):
rey = 0)
rem = 0
While num > 0:
rem == numn % 10
rey = rem * 10 t rev
num = num/ T0
return rev
print(revNumber(1234)

Example, if the file contains:
Whose w0ods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though.
He will not see me stopping here.
Towatch his woods fill up with snow.

Output: The lines starting with H'=2.

Section : D
31. Consider a CSV file 'INVENTORY.CSV that stores information about products using the 4

structure [ProductlD, ProductName,Quantity, Price].

Write the following Python functions for different operations.
