SECTION D (2 × 4 = 8 marks)

33. (i) Manvi has just learnt about the different types of operators. She has decided to 2+2=
practice the if-else statement with a mix of operators. With loads of effort, she came 4
up with a program that finally showed no syntax errors. Now she is trying the code,
she has made, with multiple inputs to see how it works and find out if the program is
working according to what she is expecting out of it.
Consider the code given below:

a = int(input("Enter the value of a : "))

b = int(input("Enter the value of b : "))
c = int(input("Enter the value of c : "))
if a > b and a >= c:
print('NEEM',end = '**')
elif b > a > c:
print('PEEPAL', end = '**')
elif a % b ==0 or c % 2 == 0:
print('ASHOKA', end = '**')
else:
print('PINE',end='**')
What will be the output produced on execution of the above code, if the user enters
the following values of a, b, and c, respectively,
a. 0, 3, and -5
b. 1, -1, and 10

(ii) Write a program to accept roll numbers and marks of n (user-defined value) students
and store them in a dictionary.
