17 Assertion: Comments are executed by interpreter. 1
Reasoning: Comments are used to add a remark or a note in the source code.

Reasoning: If a piece of data is stored in two places in the databases, then storage space
is wasted.
SECTION B
19 Deleting digitally stored data means changing the details of data at bit level, which can be 2
very time consuming. Therefore, when any data is simply deleted, its address entry is
marked as free, and that much space is shown as empty to the user, without actually
deleting the data.
In case data gets deleted accidentally or corrupted, there arises a need to recover the
data. Recovery of the data is possible only if the contents/memory space marked as
deleted have not been overwritten by some other data.
i) Can you recover the data once deleted? Justify
ii) Give any one security threat involved when we throw away electronic gadgets
that are non-functional.
Or
Write down the type of memory needed to do the following:
i) To execute the program
ii) To store the instructions which cannot be overwritten
20 Predict the output of the following: 2
w,x,y,z = 5,6,7,8
w,x,y,z = w*w, w*x, x*y, y*z
print(w, x, y, z)
21 Find errors in the following code fragment.(Rewrite the program underlining the 2
correction)
x= int(input(“Enter value of x:”)
for in range [0,10]:
if x=y:
print( x + y)
else:
 print( x‐y)
22 Suggest the corresponding Python Statement of the following: 2
i) Assign 30 to a variable length and 40 to a variable breadth.
ii) Assign multiplication of length and breadth to a variable area
23 Consider the following table ITEM : 2
Item_no Item_name Price
1 Pen 10
2 Pencil 5
3 Rubber 7
4 Sharpener 8
What is the degree and cardinality of the above mentioned table?
Or

sports teacher to do the following:
Create a table “TEAM” in MySQL with following considerations:
i) It should have a column TeamID for storing an integer value between 1 to 9, which
refers to unique identification of a team.
ii) Each TeamID should have its associated name (TeamName), which should be a string
of length not more than 10 characters.
iii) It should have a column MatchDate.
