16 When you open a file in write mode, the given file must exist in the folder, otherwise Python 1
will raise "File Not Found" error.
a) True b) False
Q17 and 18 are ASSERTION AND REASONING based questions. Mark the correct choice as
a) A is true but R is false.
b) A is false but R is true.
c) Both A and R are false.
d) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
e) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
17 Assertion (A): Keys in a Python dictionary should be unique. 1
Reason(R): Only immutable data types can be used as keys

18 Assertion (A): Parameters with default arguments can be followed by parameters with no 1
default argument.

Reason (R): Syntactically, it would be impossible for the interpreter to decide which values
match which arguments if mixed modes were allowed while providing default arguments.

Number of words ending with a digit are 4

28 Write a function EOReplace() in Python, which accepts a list L of numbers. Thereafter it 3

increments all even numbers by 1 and decrements all odd numbers by 1.

Example: if sample input data of the list is: L=[10,20,30,40,35,55]

Output will be: L=[11,21,31,41,34,54]

29 a).What possible output(s) are expected to be b). Consider the following tuple declaration: (2+1)

code given below:
a=30 Listofnames=["Aman","Ankit","Ashish","Rajam","Rajat"]
def call(x): Write the output of:
global a print(Listofnames[-1:-4:-1])
if a%2==0:

SECTION D
31 Consider the following code and answer the questions that follow: 4

Book={1:’Thriller’, 2:’Mystery’, 3:’Crime’, 4:’Children Stories’}

Library ={‘5’:’Madras Diaries’,’6’:’Malgudi Days’}
i) Ramesh needs to change the title in the dictionary book from ‘Crime’ to
‘Crime Thriller’.
He has written the following command:
Book[‘Crime’]=’Crime Thriller’
But he is not getting the answer. Help him choose the correct command:

a) Book[2]=’Crime Thriller’ b) Book[3]=’Crime Thriller’

c) Book[2]=(’Crime Thriller’) d) Book[3] =(‘Crime Thriller’)

ii) The command to merge the dictionary Book with Library the command would be:

a) d=Book+Library b) print(Book+Library)
c) Book.update(Library) d) Library.update(Book)

iii) What will be the output of the following line of code:

print(list(Library))

a) [‘5’,’Madras Diaries’,’6’,’Malgudi Days’] c) [’Madras Diaries’,’Malgudi Days’]

b) (‘5’,’Madras Diaries’,’6’,’Malgudi Days’) d) [‘5’,’6’]

iv) In order to check whether the key 2 is present in the dictionary Book, Ramesh uses
the following command:

2 in Book He gets the answer ‘True’.

Now to check whether the name ‘Madras Diaries’

exists in the dictionary Library, he uses the following command:

‘Madras Diaries’ in the Library But he gets the answer as ‘False’.

Select the correct reason for this:
a) We cannot use the in function with values. It can be used with keys only.
b) We must use the function Library.values() along with the in operator
c) We can use the Library.items() function instead of the in operator
d) Both (b) and (c) are correct
