Q17 and 18 are ASSERTION (A) AND REASONING (R) based questions. Mark the correct
choice as
(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
(B) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A
(C) A is true but R is false
(D) A is false but R is true

Question 17.
Assertion (A): Permission given to use a product by the copyright holder is License. [1]
Reason (R): One should not use the copyrighted product without taking license.
Answer:
(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

Explanation:
When someone obtains a license, they are granted the legal right to use the copyrighted
product in a specific manner as specified by the license agreement. So, assertion is correct.

The reason provided explains why one should obtain a license before using a copyrighted
product. It emphasizes the importance of obtaining permission through a license rather than
using the product without authorization, which is also true.

Question 18.
Assertion (A): Logical errors can easily be debugged. [1]
Reason (R): Run time errors are known as exception.
Answer:
(D) A is false but R is true

Explanation:
Logical errors are errors in a program’s logic that result in unexpected behavior, and are more
difficult than syntax or runtime errors, to debug as they often do not give warnings. So
Assertion is false.
Runtime errors are often referred to as exceptions because they typically cause the program’s
normal flow to be disrupted, and exceptions provide a mechanism to handle and recover from
these errors. So, Reason is true, but it is not the reason for the assertion.

Section B

Question 19.
Correct the following boolean statements:
(1) X+1 = X
(2) (A’)’ = A’
(3) A+A’ = 0
(4) (A+B)’ = A.B

OR

(i) State the idempotent law of Boolean Algebra.

(ii) Find the complement of the following expression
(A + B).(B + C).(A + C)
Answer:
(1) X + 1 = 1 or X + 0 = X
(2) ((A’)’=A
(3) A + A’ = 1 or AA’ = 0
(4) (A + B)’ = A’B’
[1/2 mark for each corrected statement]

OR

(i) Idempotent Law = An input that is AND’ed or OR’ed with itself is equal to that input.
A + A = A A variable OR’ed with itself is always equal to the variable
A . A = A A variable AND’ed with itself is always equal to the variable

(ii) Complement of (A + B).(B + C).(A + C)

= [(A + B).(B + C).(A + C)]’
= (A + B)’ + [(B + C).(A + C)]’
= (A + B)’ + (B + C)’ + (A + C)’
= A’.B’ + B’.C’ + A’.C’

Question 20.
Convert (69)10 into equivalent binary number. [1]
Answer:
(69)10 = (1000101)2

Question 21.
Assume if A = 60; and B = 13; then find the values of the following :
(i) A&B
(ii) A|B [2]
OR
How many types of strings are supported in Python?
Answer:
Here in binary format they will be as follows:
A = 00111100
B = 0000 1101
hence
A&B = 00001100 and A|B = 00111101

OR

Python allows two string types:

 Single line strings : Strings that are terminated in single line. For example :
str = ‘Oswaal Books’
 Multiple strings : Strings storing multiple lines of text. For example: str =
‘Owaal Books’
or str = ” ” ” Oswal Books
””“

Question 22.
Give the output of these Python codes:
x = “Marvellous”
(i) print (x [3 : ] , “and”, x[:2])
(ii) print (x [-7 :] , “and”, x[-4:-2])

OR
Write the output of the following code.

A = [2, 4, 6, 8,10]
L = len(A)
S = 0
for I in range (1, L, 2) :
S+= A[I]
print("Sum=", S)
Answer:
vellous and Ma
vellous and lo

OR

Sum = 12
Explanation:
for loop runs from index 1, till the last index of list, with a step size of 2.
A[1] = 4, step size = 2
A[3] = 8
S = 4 + 8 = 12

Question 23.
If

d1 = {"john":40, "peter":45}
d2 = {"john":466, "peter":45}
d3 = ("john":40, "peter":45}
What will be the output of the following?
(i) “john” in d1
(II) d1 == d2
(iii) d1 > d2
(iv) d1 == d3

OR

Given a list L1 = [3, 4.5, 12, 25.7, [2, 1, 0, 5], 88]

(ii) Which expression will return [2, 1, 0, 5]?
(iii) Which list slice will return [[2, 1, 0, 5]]?
(iv) Which list slice will return [4.5, 25.7, 88]?
Answer:
(i) True
(ii) False
(iii) Error
(iv) True
Explanation:
i) Here, ‘in’ operator checks if the given string is a key in the dictionary
ii) d1≠d2 as the value of “john” is different in both
iii) Can not establish a less than or greater than relationship with dictionary objects,
(iv) d1 = =d3 as both are completely same.

OR

(i) L1 [2:5]
(ii) L1 [4]
(iii) L1 [4:5]
(iv) L1[1::2]

Question 24.
What is copyright infringement?
Answer:
Copyright infringement is when we use another person’s work without obtaining their
permission to use or we have not paid for it, if it is being sold. Suppose we download an
image from the internet and use it in our project.

But if the owner of the copyright of the image does not permit its free usage, then using such
an image even after giving reference of the image in our project is a violation of copyright.
Just because it is on the Internet, does not mean that it is free for use. Hence, check the
copyright status of the writer’s work before using it to avoid plagiarism.

Question 25.
What is cyber bullying?
Answer:
Harassing, demeaning, embarrassing, defaming or intimidating someone using
communication technologies such as internet, cell phones, instant messengers, social
networks, etc. is called Cyber Bullying.

Section C
[Each question carries 3 marks]

Question 26.
What are language translators? What are its types? [3]
Answer:
Language translators are system software that translate the source code written in a high level
language or assembly language into object code or machine code.

There are three types of language translators:

1. Assembler: It converts the program written in assembly language into machine

language
 2. Interpreter: An interpreter is a type of system software that translates and
executes instructions line-by-line.
3. Compiler: It converts high-level language code to machine (object) code in one
session.

Question 27.
What is the difference between a list and tuple? [3]
Answer:

Lists Tuples

Lists, are mutable, i.e. they can be edited Tuples are immutable (they are lists that cannot be edited)

Lists are usually slower than tuples Tuples are faster than lists

Lists consume a lot of memory Tuples consume less memory when compared to lists

Lists are less reliable in terms of errors

Tuples are more reliable as it is hard for any unexpected
as unexpected changes are more likely
changes to occur
to occur

Lists consist of many built-in functions Tuples do not consist of any built-in functions.

Syntax Syntax

tup_1=[10,’intelispaar.w0]]
 list_1 = [10,’intelispaar. w0]]

Note: Mention any 3 points

Question 28.
Write the output of the given Python code. [3]

s.tr = "This is a form of online harassment."

str1 = "is"
(i) print (str.rfind (“is”) )
(ii) print (str.rfind (str1, 0,10))
(iii) print (str.rfind (str1, 10, 0))
(iv) print (str .find(str1) )
(v) print (str.find(str1, 0,10))
(vi) print (str .find (str1, 10, 0))
Answer:
(i) 5
(ii) 5
(iii) -1
(iv) 2
(v) 2
(vi)-1

Explanation:
rfind () finds and returns the last occurrence of a given char/substring in the string, whereas
find () looks for the very first occurrence. The syntax is: rfind (substring, start_index,
stop_index)

Question 29.
What do you mean by packing and unpacking of tuples? Illustrate the answer with an
example.

OR

What are the characteristics of Python Dictionaries ?

Answer:
Tuple packing refers to assigning multiple values into a tuple.
Tuple unpacking refers to assigning a tuple into multiple variables.

Example:

Packing
t=(1, 'Computer Science', Class 11')
Here just assigned multiple values, which are 1, 'Computer
Science' and 'Class 11' into tuple t.
Unpacking:
Sno, sub, cla =t[0], t[1], [t2]
Sno, sub, cla= t
Tuple unpacking is totally the opposite action of tuple
packing.
OR

The 3 main characteristics of a dictionary are :

1. Dictionaries are Unordered: The dictionary elements (key-value pairs) are not
in an ordered form.
2. Dictionary Keys are Case Sensitive: The same key name but with different
cases are treated as different keys in Python dictionaries.
3. No duplicate key is allowed: When duplicate keys are encountered during the
assignment, the last assignment wins and overwrites the previous value.

Question 30.
Write two ways in which a VIRUS affects a computer system, and one way how spyware
attacks.
Answer:
(a) VIRUS

1. A VIRUS infects system files thus making a system to behave unexpectedly.

2. A VIRUS tends to slow down the system by executing itself in the background.

(b) Spyware
(i) Information Theft: Spyware is designed to covertly collect sensitive information from
infected systems without the user’s consent.

Question 34.
i) What could be the possible range of output for a and b: [5]

import random
import math
a= random.random()*6
b= math.ceil(random.random()*6 + 20)
ii) Write a program to print the following pattern for n rows, where n is user-input:
For n=5:
******
****
***
**
*

OR

(i) Predict the output:

j=12
c=9
while(j):
if (j>5) :
c=c+j-2
j=j-1
else
break
print(j, c)
print(c)
(ii) What will be the output produced by following code fragments?
x = “hello world”
(a) print (x[:2], x[:-2], x[-2:])
(b) print (x[6], x[2:4])
(c) print (x [2 : -3], x [ —4 :-2 ])
Answer:
i) The possible range of output for a is [0,6).
The possible range of output for b is [20, 26].

Explanation:
a = random.random() generates a random floating-point number between 0 and 1 (incl. 0 and
excl. 1). Multiplying the random number by 6 scales it to the range between 0 and 6 (incl. 0
& excl. 6).
In case of b, adding 20 to the scaled random number gives a range of [20, 26]. The
math.ceil() function rounds up the result to the nearest integer greater than or equal to the
given value. So 26 is also inclusive now.

ii)

rows = int (input ("Enter the number of rows: "))

for i in range(rows + 1, 0, -1):
# nested reverse loop
for in range (0, i - 1):
print ("*", end=' ')
print(" ")
OR

(i) 5 58
