Consider the following Python code snippet:
22.
a = [1, 2, 3]
b=a (2)
a.append(4)
c = (5, 6, 7)
d = c + (8,)
a. Explain the mutability of a and c in the context of this code.
b. What will be the values of b and d after the code is executed?
Ans : a) a is a mutable object (a list), meaning its contents can be

changed after it is created. This is demonstrated by the append()
method that adds an element to the list.
c is an immutable object (a tuple). Once created, its contents cannot
be changed. The operation c + (8,) does not modify c but creates a new
tuple.
b)The value of b will be [1, 2, 3, 4], as b references the same list as a,

which was modified by appending 4.
The value of d will be (5, 6, 7, 8), as the expression c + (8,) creates a
new tuple combining c and (8,).

(A) You have a stack named MovieStack that contains records of movies.
30. Each movie record is represented as a list containing movie_title,
director_name, and release_year. Write the following user-defined functions
in Python to perform the specified operations on the stack MovieStack:
(I) push_movie(MovieStack, new_movie): This function takes the stack

MovieStack and a new movie record new_movie as arguments and pushes
the new movie record onto the stack.
(II) pop_movie(MovieStack): This function pops the topmost movie record

from the stack and returns it. If the stack is empty, the function should
display "Stack is empty".
(III) peek_movie(MovieStack): This function displays the topmost movie (3)

record from the stack without deleting it. If the stack is empty, the function
should display "None".

(B) Write the definition of a user-defined function push_odd(M) which

accepts a list of integers in a parameter M and pushes all those integers
which are odd from the list M into a Stack named OddNumbers.

return it. If the stack is empty, the function should display "Stack is empty".
Write the function disp_odd() to display all elements of the stack without
deleting them. If the stack is empty, the function should display "None".

Interstellar Logistics Ltd. is an international shipping company. They are
37. planning to establish a new logistics hub in Chennai, with the head office in
Bangalore. The Chennai hub will have four buildings - OPERATIONS,
WAREHOUSE, CUSTOMER_SUPPORT, and MAINTENANCE. As a
network specialist, your task is to propose the best networking solutions to
address the challenges mentioned in points (I) to (V), considering the
distances between the various buildings and the given requirements.
(5)
Building-to-Building Distances (in meters):
From To Distance
OPERATIONS WAREHOUSE 40 m
OPERATIONS CUSTOMER_SUPPORT 90 m
OPERATIONS MAINTENANCE 50 m
WAREHOUSE CUSTOMER_SUPPORT 60 m
WAREHOUSE MAINTENANCE 45 m
CUSTOMER_SUPPORT MAINTENANCE 55 m
Distance of Bangalore Head Office from Chennai Hub: 1300 km
Number of Computers in Each Building/Office:
Location Computers
OPERATIONS 40
WAREHOUSE 20
CUSTOMER_SUPPORT 25
MAINTENANCE 22
BANGALORE HEAD OFFICE 15
Page: 19/21
(I) Suggest the most suitable location for the server within the Chennai hub.
Justify your decision.
(II) Recommend the hardware device to connect all computers within each
building efficiently.
(III) Draw a cable layout to interconnect the buildings at the Chennai hub
efficiently. Which type of cable would you recommend for the fastest and
most reliable data transfer?
(IV) Is there a need for a repeater in the proposed cable layout? Justify your
answer.
(V) A) Recommend the best option for live video communication between the
Operations Office in the Chennai hub and the Bangalore Head Office from
the following choices:
 a) Video Conferencing
 b) Email
 c) Telephony
 d) Instant Messaging
OR
(V) B) What type of network (PAN, LAN, MAN, or WAN) would be set up
among the computers within the Chennai hub?
Ans :
(I) The server should be placed in the OPERATIONS building.
Justification:
 It has the largest number of computers (40), making it the most

central location in terms of the network load.
 The distances to other buildings are relatively short, ensuring
efficient data transfer. (1 Mark)
(II) A switch should be used within each building to connect all

computers. A switch is ideal for creating a local area network (LAN)
and ensures efficient communication between devices in a single
building. ( 1 Mark)
(III) The most efficient cable layout would involve connecting the
buildings as follows:
 OPERATIONS to WAREHOUSE (40 m)

 OPERATIONS to MAINTENANCE (50 m)
 OPERATIONS to CUSTOMER_SUPPORT (90 m)
 WAREHOUSE to MAINTENANCE (45 m)
 WAREHOUSE to CUSTOMER_SUPPORT (60 m)

Cable Recommendation: Fiber optic cable is recommended for high-

speed data transfer and reliable communication over distances. It
offers better bandwidth and lower signal degradation over long
distances than copper cables. ( 1/2 + 1/2 mark)
(III) There is no need for a repeater in this layout. The maximum distance
between any two buildings is 90 meters, which is well within the 100-meter
limit for Ethernet cable or fiber optics before requiring a repeater.
( 1 mark )
(IV) A) The best option for live communication between the Chennai
Operations Office and the Bangalore Head Office would be Video
Conferencing. This allows real-time face-to-face meetings and visual
communication across long distances, which is ideal for inter-office
collaboration.
OR
(V) B) The network type in the Chennai hub would be a LAN (Local Area
Network), as all computers are located within a confined geographical
area (the logistics hub) and are connected to each other for data
communication within the same campus.
