24. Consider two objects A and B. A is a List whereas B is a Series. Both have values 2
30,40,50.60.
a) print(A+ 2)
 b) print(B +2)
What will be the output of the following two statements considering that the above objects
have been created Justify your answer.
Ans:
a) TypeError: can only concatenate list (not "int") to list
b) 0 32
1 42
2 52
3 62
dtype: int64

In the first case, adding integer value to a list is not permitted. You can add list to another
list but not an integer value to a list. This is because list does not allow broadcasting
operation, i.e., performing arithmetic operation to each element is not permitted.

But in second case, series can very well implement broadcasting operation. Thus, adding an
integer value to pandas series is permitted and is perfectly fine; hence the output is so
obtained.

27. State any two differences between instr() and substr() functions in SQL with examples. 2
OR

What is the difference between where and having clause when used along with the select
statement. Explain with an example.

Ans:
INSTR function searches string for sub-string and returns an integer indicating the
position of the character in string that is the first character of this occurrence whereas
 SUBSTR function returns a portion of string, beginning at character position,
substring_length characters long.
For example,
select instr(“India is my country”,‘my’);
Output->10
Select substr(“We are indians”,4,3);
Output -> are

1 Mark for correct difference & 1 Mark for correct example

OR
WHERE is used to filter records before any groupings take place whereas HAVING is used
to filter values after they have been groups.
For example, select * from student where marks>85;
For example, select stream, avg(marks) from student group by stream having stream IN
(“Commerce”,”Humanities”);
1 Mark for correct difference & 1 Mark for correct example

28. Gunjan has entered the following SQL command on Table ‘Result’ that has TotalMarks as 2
one of the columns:
SELECT count(TotalMarks) from RESULT;
The output displayed is 43.

Then, Gunjan enters the following command:

Select count(*) from RESULT;
Now the output displayed is 50.
What could be the possible reason for different outputs? How many total records are there
in the table Result?

Ans.
count(TotalMarks) counts all the rows present in a column excluding Null values.
The output is 43 as Null values are not counted, so there are 7 rows that have NULL
values (50-7=43). Whereas count(*) counts the total number of rows in a column
including Null values;
that is why the output returns 50.
So there are total 50 records in the table Result.

2 Marks for correct explanation.
