9) If all possible pairs of prime numbers between 0 and 10, are given to n1 and n2, for how many pairs would 2 print ”Completed” ? 1 point

It will print ”Completed” only for pairs (2,3)(7,2),(2,5), and for the remaining it would not print ”Completed”.
It will print ”Completed” only for pair (2,3), and for the remaining other pairs of primes it would not print ”Completed”.
It will print ”Completed” for all pairs of primes between 0 and 20.
It will not print ”Completed” for any pair.
Yes, the answer is correct.
Score: 1
Accepted Answers:
It will not print ”Completed” for any pair.

10) If numbers of pairs of primes which result in mystery2 to print ”Completed” are lesser than 1, Can we edit the code in mystery2() 1 point
so that ”Completed” is always printed for any pair of primes ?

Yes, we can change the logic for setting flag variable to False.
No, it is logically not possible.
Yes, we can change/decrease the threshold for length of list2 in the last if block.
Yes, we can change the initial value of flag to False, instead of True.

No, the answer is incorrect.

Score: 0
Accepted Answers:
Yes, we can change/decrease the threshold for length of list2 in the last if block.
