30 A list CarList contains following data as list elements: [Name, Make, Price] 3
Here Name is the name of a car, Make is name of the car manufacturer, and Price is
the price of the car in lakhs (thus 8.2 means 8.2 lakhs). Each of these lists are put
together to form a nested list of different cars. Write the following user defined
functions in Python to perform the specified operations on a stack named CAR.
PUSH(AllCarList): It takes the nested list called AllCarList as an argument and
creates a new list with name and price of the car corresponding to the car
manufacturer named ‘Suzuki’. It then pushes those lists into the stack.
POP( ): It pops the objects from the stack and displays the car name for all cars
priced below 10 lakhs. Also, the function should display 'Stack Empty' when there
are no elements left in the stack during pop.
Ans:
CAR = [ ]
def PUSH(AllCarList):
for L in AllCarList:
if L[1] == 'Suzuki':
NewL = [ L[0], L[2] ]
CAR.append( NewL )
def POP( ):
while len(CAR) != 0:
L = CAR.pop()
if L[1] < 10:
print ( L[0] )
print ('Empty Stack')

32. Write a Python Program to define and call the following user defined functions:
Save( ): To accept and add a single circus related data of type dictionary to a
binary file ‘circus.dat’. The function receives as argument the data for a given
circus as a dictionary like {“name”:“Gemini”, “items”:12 “ticket”:150.00} and
writes it to the binary file.
Display( ): To read the ‘circus.dat’ file and display the names of those
circuses where the number of items performed is more than 10.
import pickle
def Save( D ):
fout = open (‘circus.dat’, ‘ab’)
pickle.dump(D)
fout.close()
def Display( ):
fin = open (‘circus.dat’, ‘rb’)
try:
while True:
D = pickle.load(fin)
if D[‘items’] > 10:
print(D[‘name’])
except:

33 A company has 4 wings of buildings as shown in the diagram below: 5

W1 W2

W3 W4

Pg-6
 Distance in metres between various wings is as follows:
W3 – W1 50
W1 – W2 60
W2 – W4 25
W4 – W3 170
W3 – W2 125
W1 – W4 90

Number of computers:
W1 80
W2 15
W3 15
W4 25

a) Suggest the most suitable wing to install the server of this company with
a suitable reason.
Ans: As the wing W1 has the largest number of computers hence as per the 80-
20 rule the server is to be placed in wing W1
b) Suggest an ideal layout for connecting these wings for a wired
connectivity.
Ans: Option-1 (Maximum efficiency) Option-2 (Minimum cable length)

60 60
W1 W2 W1 W2

50 90 50 25
W3 W4 W3 W4

c) Which device will you suggest to be placed/installed in each of these

wings to efficiently connect all the computers within these wings?
Ans: Switch
d) The company wants internet accessibility in all the wings. Suggest a
suitable technology.
Ans: A proxy server placed in the server wing W1 can be used to provide
internet connectivity to all the wings.
e) The company is planning to link its head office in Gurgaon with these
wings which are located in a hilly area at a distance of 1230 Km from
Gurgaon. Suggest a way to connect this economically.
Ans: As distance is very large, it will be costly to lay cables. Hence wireless
connectivity can be used. Either radio connectivity or satellite communication
can be used.
34 Define a function newConnection( ) in Python to accept new data from the 5
user and add it to a file ‘NewCon.dat’, for those data where area code is
700019. Assume that the binary file ‘NewCon.dat’, is an existing file with
more than 500 records and contains data in the form of lists like:
Tele = [ 24405112, ‘Amit Sen’, 700033].
Here the first list element is a phone number, the second element is the
customer’s name and the third element is the PIN code of the customer.

Pg-7
 Ans:
import pickle
def newConnection():
fout = open('NewCon.dat', 'ab')
ph = int(input('Enter phone number: '))
cn = input('Enter customer name: ')
pin = int(input('Enter pincode: '))
if pin == 700019:
L = [ph, cn, pin]
pickle.dump(L, fout)
fout.close( )
OR
import pickle
def newConnection():
with open('NewCon.dat', 'ab') as fout:
ph = int(input('Enter phone number: '))
cn = input('Enter customer name: ')
pin = int(input('Enter pincode: '))
if pin == 700019:
L = [ph, cn, pin]
pickle.dump(L, fout)

a) What do you mean by absolute path of a file?
The absolute path of a file is the location of the file with respect to the drive and the
folders under which the file is located. Example of an absolute path:
D:\works\programs\prog1.py

b) The code given below updates the teacher’s name from table CCA (that stores
data about co-curricular activities) against a given CCA#, where each record
stores the following data: (CCA#, Subject, Teacher)
Note the following to establish connectivity between Python and MYSQL:
• Host is 'localhost' • Username is 'root'
• Password is 'cc@314' • Database used 'SCHOOL'
Write the following missing statements to complete the code:
Statement1 – imports necessary module for connectivity
Statement2 – creates a cursor object
Statement3 – forms the formatted query string to execute
import mysql.connector as scon #Statement1
def updateRow():
pcon = scon.connect(host="localhost", user="root", \
passwd="cc@314", database='SCHOOL')
ccc = pcon.cursor() #Statement2
CC = int(input("Enter CCA number of record to update: "))
TC = input("Enter updated teacher name: ")
QUERY = "update CAA set teacher = '{}' where cc = '{}'".format(TC, CC)
#Statement3
