1. How many times does the print statement will execute.

A=10
While A<=10:
Print(‘first time’)
A=A+1
(a) Two times
(b) Three times
(c) Zero time
(d) One time

1. What is the output of the following?

x = ['ab', 'cd']
for i in x:
i.upper()
print(x)

a) [‘ab’, ‘cd’].
b) [‘AB’, ‘CD’].
c) [None, None].
d) none of the mentioned

EXPLANATION: The function upper() does not modify a string in place, it returns a new
stringwhich isn’t being stored anywhere.

If A=B:

Print(‘A and B are equal’)

Else:

Print(‘they are not equal)

(a) third line

2. python has only two loop types for and while loops?

a. True

b. false

EXPLANATION: Python has 3 loop types they are for, while and nested loops

3. What will be the output to the below code?

(a) 14
(b) 08
(c) 1947
(d) None

3.In python, a decision can be made by using if else statement

a. True
b. False
EXPLANATION: The if statement alone tells us that if a condition is true it will execute
ablock of statements and if the condition is false it won’t. But what if we want to do
something else if the condition is false. Here comes the else statement. We can use the else
statement with if statement to execute a block of code when the condition is false.

4. What will be the output to the below code

A=85

B=50

C=A+B

D=145

If d<c:

Print(‘less than’)

Elif d>c:

Print(‘greater than’)

Else:

(b) Greater than
(c) None
(d) None of the above

4.What is the output of the following?

if i == 3:

break

else:

print(0)

b) 0 1 2

c) error

d) none of the mentioned

EXPLANATION: The else part is not executed if control breaks out of the loop.

(a) 0 1
(b) 1 0
(c) 0 0
(d) 1 1
 CONTROL STRUCTURES

5. what will be the output

List= [23,35,78,81]

print (List [0] %3, List [2] %7]

(a)0 1

(b)1 0

(c)2 1

(d)1 1

EXPLANATION: In python % symbol will give remainder number as output, 23 % 3 will

give 2 as remainder and for 78 % 7 gives 1 as remainder.

break

print(i)

i += 1

a) 1 2 3 4 5 6

b) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

(c) Infinite loop

(d) none of the above

7.The purpose of using a loop is to

a. repeat operation(s)many times

b. certain process is done

c. both a & b

d. make decision

Explanation: A loop is a sequence of instruction s that is continually repeated until a

certain condition is reached

(d) None of the above

8. The pass statement is a null operation, what will happen when it executes

a) skip

b) syntax error

c) nothing

d) none of the above

EXPLANATION: The pass statement is a null operation; nothing happens when it executes

9.How the elements within the list are separated

(a) Semi colon

(b) Colon

(c) Comma

(d) None of the above

9. which one throws an error? for the below input

my_list = ['p','r','o','b','e']

a. print(my_list[0])

b. print(my_list[2])

c. my_list[4.0]

d. print(my_list[4])

10. How many times does the elif block can be assigned within the if else statement

(a) three times

(b) two times

(c) any number of times

(d) None of the above

10. loops are traditionally used when you have a block of code which you want to repeat a
fixed number of times

a. True

b. False

11.What will be the output for the code

My_list = [56,52,48,44]

print (My_list[4]/8)

(a) 5.5
(b) 7
(c) 13
(d) IndexError

EXPLANATION: It will give IndexErrorbecause 4 is not part of My_list. Instead of 4 if we

give My_list[3] / 8 we will get 5.5 as output

12. what is the output of the following?

True = False

while True:

print(“True”)

break

cannot be changed

13.Python does not appear to have a switch statement.

(a) True

EXPLANATION: In other languages we would use a switch or case statement, but Python
does not appear to have a switch statement

print(4.00/(2.0+2.0))

(a) error

(b) 1.0

(c) 1.00

EXPLANATION: The result of the expression shown above is 1.0 because print rounds off
digits.

19. Which one of the following is used for concatenating the lists

(a) ||

(b)+

(c) c

(d) &&

EXPLANATION: In order to merge two strings into a single object, you may use the “+”
operator. When writing code that would like this: str1 = “Hello ” str2 = “World” str1 + str2
we get “Hello World”
