pairs that associate keys to value. Keys of the dictionary must be immutable type.
Assertion (A): The string replication operator * is used with a string and a number.
Reasoning (R): The * operator when used with the numbers (i.e., when both operands are
18. numbers), it performs the multiplication and when used with a string and a number (i.e., as 1
number * string or string * number) Python creates a new string that is a number of repetitions
of the given string.
SECTION B
19. Differentiate between implicit type conversion and explicit type conversion. 2

print("The given list is ", L)
print("Mean : ", MEAN(L))
21. Write a function displayWords(Names) in Python, that takes the dictionary, Names as an 2
 4

argument and displays the names (in uppercase) of the names whose last character is ‘a’.
For example, Consider the following dictionary
Names = {101:"Camila", 102:"Sara", 103:"Indhu", 104:"Bhaskar"}
The output should be:
CAMILA
SARA
OR
Write a function, findWords(STR), that takes a string as an argument and prints the words of
each character separated by # of those words whose length is more than 4 characters.

For Example, if the string is

"Education is the one thing that no one can take away from you"

The output will be

E#d#u#c#a#t#i#o#n
t#h#i#n#g
Predict the output of the following code:
STR = "Develop a passion for learning"
L = STR.split()
D = {}
for i in range(len(L)):
if i % 2 == 0:
22. D[i] = L[i] 2
else:
D[STR[i]] = L[i]

for key, value in D.items():

print(key, value, sep = "&")

Write a the Python statement for each of the following tasks using BUILT-IN functions/methods
only:
23. (i) To delete an element from the third position of the list L1. 1+1
(ii) To check whether the string named, STR contains only upper cased letters or not.
Predict the output of the following code:
def create(Str):
i = len(Str)-1
S = ''
while i >= 0 :
if Str[i].isupper():
S = S + Str[i].join("@@").lower()
24. elif Str[i].islower(): 2
S = S + Str[i].upper()
i -= 1
print(S)

S = "Stay PosiTive"
create(S)
25. Predict the output of the following code: 2
 5

def create(x, y=2, z = 4):

x = x // y
y += z
return y, x

a, b, c = 100, 200, 300

a, b = create(b, a)
print(a, b, sep = "#")
c = create(c)
SECTION C
Predict the output of the Python code given below:

Str1 = "BRICS:Brazil-Russia-India-China-South Africa"

Str = ""
BRICS = Str1.split(":")
List = BRICS[1].split("-")
for cty in List:
if cty[0] >= "C" and cty[0] <= "H":
for c in cty:
if c.islower():
26. 3

elif c.upper():
Str = Str + cty[-1]
elif cty[0] >= "M" and cty[0] <= "R":
for c in cty:
if c.islower():
Str = Str + "$" + cty[-1]
elif c.upper():
pass
print(Str)
Write the definition of a Python function named LongLines() which reads the contents of a text
file names “Lines.txt” and displays those lines from the file which have at least 10 words in it.
For example, if the contents of “Lines.txt” is as follows:
Once upon a time, there was a woodcutter
He lived in a little house in a beautiful, green wood.
One day, he was merrily chopping some wood.
27. 3
He saw a little girl skipping through the woods, whistling happily.
The girl was folloed by a big gray wolf.

Then the function should display output as:

He lived in a little house in a beautiful, green wood.
He saw a little girl skipping through the woods, whistling happily.
Write a function displayLines() in Python to read a text file ‘Mountain.txt’ and display the lines
that begin with the letter “M”.
28. OR 3
Write a function vowelCount() in Python that counts and displays the words begin with a vowel
from the text file “Mountain.txt”. Both upper and lower case vowels are included.
29. Write a function EOReplace() in Python, which accepts a list L of numbers. Thereafter, it 3
 6

increments all even numbers by 1 and decrements all odd numbers by 1.

Example:
If Sample Input data of the list is:
L = [10, 20, 30, 40, 35, 55]
Output will be:
L = [11, 21, 31, 41, 34, 54]
A list, Planets contains following records as list elements:
[Planet, Planet Type, No. of Moons, Length of year in Earth Days]

Each of these records are nested together to form a nested list. Write the following user defined
functions in Python to perform the specified operations on the stack named MOONS.
(i) PushMOONS(): To push a list object containing Name of the Planet and No. of
Moons which has Moons.
(ii) PopMOONS(): To pop the objects from the stack and display them. Also, the
function should display “No more Planets!” when there are no elements in the stack.

For example: If the nested list contains the following data:

Planets = [["Mercury", "Terrestrial", 0, 88],
["Venus", "Terrestrial", 0, 225],
30. ["Earth", "Terrestrial", 1, 365], 3
["Jupiter", "Gas Giant", 95, 4333],
["Neptune", "Ice Giant", 14, 60190]]

The stack should contain:

['Neptune', 14]
['Jupiter', 95]
['Earth', 1]

The output should be:

['Neptune', 14]
['Jupiter', 95]
['Earth', 1]
No more Planets!
SECTION D

Write a user defined function search() to search in a pickled file “Student.dat” and print the
details of rollno 1.
32. (i) Differentiate between r and rb file modes in Python. 2+3
(ii) Consider a file, MOVIE.DAT, containing records of the following structure:
[MovieNo, MovieName, yearofRelease]
Write a function that reads contents from the file MOVIE.DAT and copies the records with
yearofRelease before 2000 to the file named OLDMOVIES.DAT. The function should return
the total number of records copied to the file OLDMOVIES.DAT.
OR
(Option for part (ii) only)

The binary file, FURNITURE.DAT has the following structure:

{FNO:[FNAME, FTYPE, COST]}
Where
FNO – Furniture Number
FNAME – Furniture Name
FTYPE – Furniture Type
COST – Cost of the Furniture

Write a user defined function, findCost(FURN), that accepts the dictionary FURN as
parameter and displays all the records from the binary file FURNITURE.DAT, that have the
value of FTYPE as Table and COST more than 10000.

33. Amritya Seth is a programmer, who has recently been given a task to write a python code to 5
perform the following binary file operations with the help of two user defined
functions/modules:
a. AddStudents() to create a binary file called STUDENT.DAT containing student information
– roll number, name and marks (out of 100) of each student.
b. GetStudents() to display the name and percentage of those students who have a percentage
greater than 75. In case there is no student having percentage > 75 the function displays a
message as “No Student scored more than 75”. The function should also display the average
percent.
