9. What is the output of the following piece of code? c)One Two Three d) 0: One 1: Two 2: Three
x=[[1],[2]]; print(" ".join(list(map(str,x))))

SOLUTION
Ans 1. b Append function on lists doesn’t return anything. Ans 2. b List b is just a copy of the original list. Any copy
Thus the value of b is None. made in list b will not be reflected in list a.
