20. Consider a given Series , M1:

Marks
Term1 45
Term2 65
Term3 24
Term4 89
Write a program in Python Pandas to create the series.
Ans import pandas as pd
m1=pd.Series([45,65,24,89],index=['term1','term2','term3','term4'])

21. Cconsider two objects x and y. x is a list whereas y is a Series. Both have values 20, 40,90,
110.
What will be the output of the following two statements considering that the above objects have
been created already
a. print (x*2) b. print(y*2)
Justify your answer.

Ans a. will give the output as:

[20,40,90,110,20,40,90,110]

b. will give the output as

0 40
1 80
2 180

is replicated that many number of times.
The second y represents a series. When a series is multiplied by a value, then each element of
the series is multiplied by that number.
