>>>str = "hello"
Simple Queries in SQL
>>>str[:2]
>>>

1. he
2. lo
3. olleh
4. hello

Answer

he

Reason — str[:2] here slicing operation begins from index 0

and ends at index 1. Hence the output will be 'he'.

L = [1, 23, 'hello', 1]

1. list
2. dictionary
3. array
4. tuple

Answer

list

Reason — A list can store a sequence of values belonging to any

data type and they are depicted through square brackets.

1. list
2. dictionary
3. array
4. tuple

Answer

tuple

Reason — For creating a tuple, enclosing the elements inside

parentheses is optional. Even if parentheses are omitted as shown
here, still this statement will create a tuple.

Question 7

To store values in terms of key and value, what core data type
does Python provide ?

1. list
2. tuple
3. class
4. dictionary

Answer

dictionary

Reason — Dictionaries are mutable with elements in the form of a

key:value pair that associate keys to values.

Question 8

What is the value of the following expression ?

3 + 3.00, 3**3.0

1. (6.0, 27.0)
2. (6.0, 9.00)
3. (6, 27)
4. [6.0, 27.0]
5. [6, 27]

Answer

(6.0, 27.0)

Reason — The value of expression is in round brackets because it

is tuple.
3 + 3.00 = 6.0
3**3.0 = 3 x 3 x 3 = 27.0

Question 9

List AL is defined as follows : AL = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Which of the following statements removes the middle element 3
from it so that the list AL equals [1, 2, 4, 5] ?

https://www.knowledgeboat.com/learn/sumita-arora-python-computer-science-class-12-cbse/solutions/BevZLk/revision-tour-2 3/39
3/20/25, 5:23 AM Chapter 2: Python Revision Tour II | Solutions of Computer Science with Python by Sumita Arora for Class 12 CBSE & NCERT …

1. del AL[2]
2. AL[2:3] = []
3. AL[2:2] = []
4. AL[2] = []
5. AL.remove(3)

Answer

del AL[2]
AL[2:3] = []
AL.remove(3)

Reason — del AL[2] — The del keyword deletes the element

from the list AL from index 2.
AL[2:3] = [] — The slicing of the list AL[2:3] begins at index 2

and ends at index 2. Therefore, the element at index 2 will be

replaced by an empty list [].
AL.remove(3) — The remove() function removes an element from

the list AL from index 3."

Question 10

Which two lines of code are valid strings in Python ?

1. This is a string
2. 'This is a string'
3. (This is a string)
4. "This is a string"

Answer

'This is a string'
"This is a string"

Reason — Strings are enclosed within single or double quotes.

Question 11

You have the following code segment :

String1 = "my"
String2 = "work"
print(String1 + String2)

What is the output of this code?

1. my work
2. work
3. mywork
4. my

Answer

Output

https://www.knowledgeboat.com/learn/sumita-arora-python-computer-science-class-12-cbse/solutions/BevZLk/revision-tour-2 4/39
3/20/25, 5:23 AM Chapter 2: Python Revision Tour II | Solutions of Computer Science with Python by Sumita Arora for Class 12 CBSE & NCERT …

mywork

Reason — The + operator creates a new string by joining the two

operand strings.

Question 12

You have the following code segment :

String1 = "my"
String2 = "work"
print(String1+String2.upper())

What is the output of this code?

1. mywork
2. MY Work
3. myWORK
4. My Work

Answer

Output

myWORK

Reason — string.upper() method returns a copy of the string

converted to uppercase. The + operator creates a new string by
joining the two operand strings.

Question 13

Which line of code produces an error ?

1. "one" + 'two'
2. 1 + 2
3. "one" + "2"
4. '1' + 2

Answer

'1' + 2

Reason — The + operator has to have both operands of the same

type either of number type (for addition) or of string type (for
concatenation). It cannot work with one operand as string and one
as a number.

Question 14

What is the output of this code ?

>>> int("3" + "4")

1. "7"

https://www.knowledgeboat.com/learn/sumita-arora-python-computer-science-class-12-cbse/solutions/BevZLk/revision-tour-2 5/39

2. "34"
3. 34
4. 24

Answer

Output

34

Reason — The + operator concatenates two strings and int

converts it to integer type.

int("3" + "4")
= int("34")
= 34

Question 15

Which line of code will cause an error ?

1. num= [5, 4, 3, [2], 1]

2. print(num[0])
3. print(num[3][0])
4. print(num[5])

1. Line 3
2. Line 2
3. Line 4
4. Line 1

Answer

Line 4

Reason — Index 5 is out of range because list has 5 elements

which counts to index 4.

Question 16

Which is the correct form of declaration of dictionary ?

1. Day = {1:'Monday', 2:'Tuesday', 3:'wednesday'}

2. Day = {1;'Monday', 2;'Tuesday', 3;'wednesday'}
3. Day = [1:'Monday', 2:'Tuesday', 3:'wednesday']
4. Day = {1'monday', 2'tuesday', 3'wednesday'}

Answer

Day = {1:'Monday', 2:'Tuesday', 3:'wednesday'}

Reason — The syntax of dictionary declaration is:

<dictionary-name> = {<key>:<value>, <key>:<value>}

https://www.knowledgeboat.com/learn/sumita-arora-python-computer-science-class-12-cbse/solutions/BevZLk/revision-tour-2 6/39
3/20/25, 5:23 AM Chapter 2: Python Revision Tour II | Solutions of Computer Science with Python by Sumita Arora for Class 12 CBSE & NCERT …

According this syntax, Day = {1:'Monday', 2:'Tuesday',

Identify the valid declaration of L:

L = ['Mon', '23', 'hello', '60.5']

1. dictionary
2. string
3. tuple
4. list

Answer

list

Reason — A list can store a sequence of values belonging to any

data type and enclosed in square brackets.

Question 18

Suppose a tuple T is declared as T = (10, 12, 43, 39), which of the

following is incorrect ?

1. print(T[1])
2. T[2] = -29
3. print(max(T))
4. print(len(T))

Answer

T[2] = -29

Reason — Tuples are immutable. Hence we cannot perform item-

assignment in tuples.

True/False Questions

Question 1

Do both the following represent the same list.

['a', 'b', 'c']
['c', 'a', 'b']

Answer

False

Reason — Lists are ordered sequences. In the above two lists,

even though the elements are same, they are at different indexes
(i.e., different order). Hence, they are two different lists.

https://www.knowledgeboat.com/learn/sumita-arora-python-computer-science-class-12-cbse/solutions/BevZLk/revision-tour-2 8/39

Question 2

A list may contain any type of objects except another list.

Answer

False

Reason — A list can store any data types and even list can contain
another list as element.

Question 3

There is no conceptual limit to the size of a list.

Answer

True

Reason — The list can be of any size.

Question 4

All elements in a list must be of the same type.

Answer

False

Reason — A list is a standard data type of python that can store a

sequence of values belonging to any data type.

Question 5

A given object may appear in a list more than once.

Answer

True

Reason — List can have duplicate values.

Question 6

The keys of a dictionary must be of immutable types.

Answer

True

Reason — Dictionaries are indexed by keys. Hence its keys must

be of any non-mutable type.

Question 7

You can combine a numeric value and a string by using the +

symbol.

Answer

False

https://www.knowledgeboat.com/learn/sumita-arora-python-computer-science-class-12-cbse/solutions/BevZLk/revision-tour-2 9/39
3/20/25, 5:23 AM Chapter 2: Python Revision Tour II | Solutions of Computer Science with Python by Sumita Arora for Class 12 CBSE & NCERT …

Reason — The + operator has to have both operands of the same

type either of number type (for addition) or both of string type (for
concatenation). It cannot work with one operand as string and one
as a number.

Question 8

The clear( ) removes all the elements of a dictionary but does not
delete the empty dictionary.

Answer

True

Reason — The clear() method removes all items from the

dictionary and the dictionary becomes empty dictionary post this
method. del statement removes the complete dictionary as an
object.

Question 9

The max( ) and min( ) when used with tuples, can work if elements
of the tuple are all of the same type.

Answer

True

Reason — Tuples should contain same type of elements for max()

and min() method to work.

Question 10

A list of characters is similar to a string type.

Answer

False

Reason — In Python, a list of characters and a string type are not

similar. Strings are immutable sequences of characters, while lists
are mutable sequences that can contain various data types. Lists
have specific methods and behaviors that differ from strings, such
as append(), extend(), pop() etc.

Question 11

For any index n, s[:n] + s[n:] will give you original string s.

Answer

True

Reason — s[:n] — The slicing of a string starts from index 0 and

ends at index n-1.
s[n:] — The slicing of a string starts from index n and continues
until the end of the string.
So when we concatenate these two substrings we get original
string s.

Assertions and Reasons

Question 1

Assertion. Lists and Tuples are similar sequence types of Python,

yet they are two different data types.

Reason. List sequences are mutable and Tuple sequences are

immutable.

Answer

(a)

Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct
explanation of Assertion.

Explanation
Lists and tuples are similar sequence types in python, but they are
distinct data types. Both are used to store collections of items, but
they have different properties and use cases. Lists are mutable,
meaning you can add, remove, or modify elements after the list is
created. Tuples, on the other hand, are immutable, meaning once
a tuple is created, its contents cannot be changed.

Question 2

Assertion. Modifying a string creates another string internally but

modifying a list does not create a new list.

Reason. Strings store characters while lists can store any type of
data.

Answer

(b)

Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct
explanation of Assertion.

Explanation
In Python, strings are immutable, meaning once they are created,
their contents cannot be changed. Whenever we modify a string,
python creates a new string object to hold the modified contents,
leaving the original string unchanged. On the other hand, lists in
python are mutable, meaning we can modify their contents after
they have been created. When we modify a list, python does not
create a new list object. Instead, it modifies the existing list object
in place. Strings are sequences of characters, and each character

https://www.knowledgeboat.com/learn/sumita-arora-python-computer-science-class-12-cbse/solutions/BevZLk/revision-tour-2 11/39
3/20/25, 5:23 AM Chapter 2: Python Revision Tour II | Solutions of Computer Science with Python by Sumita Arora for Class 12 CBSE & NCERT …

in a string can be accessed by its index. Lists, on the other hand,

can store any type of data, including integers, floats, strings.

Question 3

Assertion. Modifying a string creates another string internally but

modifying a list does not create a new list.

Reason. Strings are immutable types while lists are mutable types
of python.

Answer

(a)

Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct
explanation of Assertion.

Explanation
In Python, strings are immutable, meaning once they are created,
their contents cannot be changed. Whenever we modify a string,
python creates a new string object to hold the modified contents,
leaving the original string unchanged. On the other hand, lists in
python are mutable, meaning we can modify their contents after
they have been created. When we modify a list, python does not
create a new list object. Instead, it modifies the existing list object
in place.

Question 4

Assertion. Dictionaries are mutable, hence its keys can be easily

changed.

Reason. Mutability means a value can be changed in place

without having to create new storage for the changed value.

Answer

(d)

Assertion is false but Reason is true.

Explanation
Dictionaries are indexed by keys and each key must be immutable
and unique. However, the dictionary itself is mutable, meaning that
we can add, remove, or modify key-value pairs within the
dictionary without changing the identity of the dictionary object
itself. Mutability refers to the ability to change a value in place
without creating a new storage location for the changed value.

Question 5

Assertion. Dictionaries are mutable but their keys are immutable.

Reason. The values of a dictionary can change but keys of

dictionary cannot be changed because through them data is
hashed.

https://www.knowledgeboat.com/learn/sumita-arora-python-computer-science-class-12-cbse/solutions/BevZLk/revision-tour-2 12/39
3/20/25, 5:23 AM Chapter 2: Python Revision Tour II | Solutions of Computer Science with Python by Sumita Arora for Class 12 CBSE & NCERT …

Answer

(a)

Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct
explanation of Assertion.

Explanation
A dictionary is a unordered set of key : value pairs and are indexed
by keys. The values of a dictionary can change but keys of
dictionary cannot be changed because through them data is
hashed. Hence dictionaries are mutable but keys are immutable
and unique.

Question 6

Assertion. In Insertion Sort, a part of the array is always sorted.

Reason. In Insertion sort, each successive element is picked and

inserted at an appropriate position in the sorted part of the array.

Answer

(a)

Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct
explanation of Assertion.

Explanation
Insertion sort is a sorting algorithm that builds a sorted list, one
element at a time from the unsorted list by inserting the element at
its correct position in sorted list. In Insertion sort, each successive
element is picked and inserted at an appropriate position in the
previously sorted array.
Type A: Short Answer Questions/Conceptual
Questions

Question 1

What is the internal structure of python strings ?

Answer

Strings in python are stored as individual characters in contiguous

memory locations, with two-way index for each location. The index
(also called subscript) is the numbered position of a letter in the
string. Indices begin 0 onwards in the forward direction up to
length-1 and -1,-2, .... up to -length in the backward direction. This
is called two-way indexing.

Question 2

Write a python script that traverses through an input string and

prints its characters in different lines - two characters per line.

Answer

https://www.knowledgeboat.com/learn/sumita-arora-python-computer-science-class-12-cbse/solutions/BevZLk/revision-tour-2 13/39

name = input("Enter name:")

for i in range(0, len(name), 2):
print(name[i:i+2])

Output

Question 3

Discuss the utility and significance of Lists, briefly.

Answer

A list is a standard data type of python that can store a sequence

of values belonging to any type. Lists are mutable i.e., we can
change elements of a list in place. Their dynamic nature allows for
flexible manipulation, including appending, inserting, removing,
and slicing elements. Lists offer significant utility in data storage,
iteration, and manipulation tasks.

Question 4

What do you understand by mutability ? What does "in place" task

mean ?

Answer

Mutability means that the value of an object can be updated by

directly changing the contents of the memory location where the
object is stored. There is no need to create another copy of the
object in a new memory location with the updated values.
Examples of mutable objects in python include lists, dictionaries.
In python, "in place" tasks refer to operations that modify an object
directly without creating a new object or allocating additional
memory. For example, list methods like append(), extend(), and
pop() perform operations in place, modifying the original list, while
string methods like replace() do not modify the original string in
place but instead create a new string with the desired changes.

Question 5

Start with the list [8, 9, 10]. Do the following using list functions:

1. Set the second entry (index 1) to 17

2. Add 4, 5 and 6 to the end of the list
3. Remove the first entry from the list
4. Sort the list
5. Double the list
6. Insert 25 at index 3

Answer

https://www.knowledgeboat.com/learn/sumita-arora-python-computer-science-class-12-cbse/solutions/BevZLk/revision-tour-2 14/39
3/20/25, 5:23 AM Chapter 2: Python Revision Tour II | Solutions of Computer Science with Python by Sumita Arora for Class 12 CBSE & NCERT …

listA = [8, 9, 10]

1. listA[1] = 17
2. listA.extend([4, 5, 6])
3. listA.pop(0)
4. listA.sort()
5. listA = listA * 2
6. listA.insert(3, 25)

Question 6

What's a[1 : 1] if a is a string of at least two characters ? And what

if string is shorter ?

Answer

a[x:y] returns a slice of the sequence from index x to y - 1. So, a[1 :

1] will return an empty list irrespective of whether the list has two
elements or less as a slice from index 1 to index 0 is an invalid
range.

Question 7

What are the two ways to add something to a list ? How are they
different ?

Answer

The two methods to add something to a list are:

1. append method — The syntax of append method is

list.append(item) .

2. extend method — The syntax of extend method is

list.extend(<list>) .

Difference

The difference between the append() and extend() methods in

python is that append() adds one element at the end of a list, while
extend() can add multiple elements, given in the form of a list, to a
list.

Example

append method:

lst1 = [10, 12, 14]

lst1.append(16)
print(lst1)

Output — [10, 12, 14, 16]

extend method:

t1 = ['a', 'b', 'c']

t2 = ['d', 'e']

https://www.knowledgeboat.com/learn/sumita-arora-python-computer-science-class-12-cbse/solutions/BevZLk/revision-tour-2 15/39
3/20/25, 5:23 AM Chapter 2: Python Revision Tour II | Solutions of Computer Science with Python by Sumita Arora for Class 12 CBSE & NCERT …
t1.extend(t2)
print(t1)

Output — ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e']

Question 8

What are the two ways to remove something from a list? How are
they different ?

Answer

The two ways to remove something from a list are:

1. pop method — The syntax of pop method is

List.pop(<index>) .

2. del statement — The syntax of del statement is

del list[<index>] # to remove element at index

del list[<start>:<stop>] # to remove elements in list slice

Difference

The difference between the pop() and del is that pop() method is
used to remove single item from the list, not list slices whereas del
statement is used to remove an individual item, or to remove all
items identified by a slice.

Example

pop() method:

t1 = ['k', 'a', 'e', 'i', 'p', 'q', 'u']

ele1 = t1.pop(0)
print(ele1)

Output — 'k'

del statement:

lst = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
del lst[2:4]
print(lst)

Output — [1, 2, 5]

Question 11

Discuss the utility and significance of Tuples, briefly.

Answer

Tuples are used to store multiple items in a single variable. It is a

collection which is ordered and immutable i.e., the elements of the
tuple can't be changed in place. Tuples are useful when values to
be stored are constant and need to be accessed quickly.

Question 12

If a is (1, 2, 3)

1. what is the difference (if any) between a * 3 and (a, a, a) ?

2. Is a * 3 equivalent to a + a + a ?
3. what is the meaning of a[1:1] ?
4. what is the difference between a[1:2] and a[1:1] ?

Answer

1. a * 3 ⇒ (1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3)
(a, a, a) ⇒ ((1, 2, 3), (1, 2, 3), (1, 2, 3))
So, a * 3 repeats the elements of the tuple whereas (a, a, a)
creates nested tuple.
2. Yes, both a * 3 and a + a + a will result in (1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2,
3).
3. This colon indicates (:) simple slicing operator. Tuple slicing is
basically used to obtain a range of items.
tuple[Start : Stop] ⇒ returns the portion of the tuple from index
Start to index Stop (excluding element at stop).
a[1:1] ⇒ This will return empty list as a slice from index 1 to
index 0 is an invalid range.
4. Both are creating tuple slice with elements falling between
indexes start and stop.
a[1:2] ⇒ (2,)
It will return elements from index 1 to index 2 (excluding
element at 2).
a[1:1] ⇒ ()
a[1:1] specifies an invalid range as start and stop indexes are
the same. Hence, it will return an empty list.

Question 13

What is the difference between (30) and (30,) ?

Answer

a = (30) ⇒ It will be treated as an integer expression, hence a

stores an integer 30, not a tuple.
a = (30,) ⇒ It is considered as single element tuple since a comma
is added after the element to convert it into a tuple.

Question 14

Write a Python statement to declare a Dictionary named ClassRoll

with Keys as 1, 2, 3 and corresponding values as 'Reena',
'Rakesh', 'Zareen' respectively.

Answer

ClassRoll = {1:'Reena', 2:'Rakesh', 3:'Zareen'}

Question 15

Why is a dictionary termed as an unordered collection of objects ?

Answer

A dictionary is termed as an unordered collection of objects

because the elements in a dictionary are not stored in any
particular order. Unlike string, list and tuple, a dictionary is not a
sequence. For a dictionary, the printed order of elements is not the
same as the order in which the elements are stored.

Question 16

What type of objects can be used as keys in dictionaries ?

Answer

Keys of a dictionary must be of immutable types such as

1. a Python string
2. a number
3. a tuple (containing only immutable entries)

Question 17

Though tuples are immutable type, yet they cannot always be used
as keys in a dictionary. What is the condition to use tuples as a key
in a dictionary ?

Answer

For a tuple to be used as a key in a dictionary, all its elements

must be immutable as well. If a tuple contains mutable elements,
such as lists, sets, or other dictionaries, it cannot be used as a key
in a dictionary.

Question 18

Dictionary is a mutable type, which means you can modify its

contents ? What all is modifiable in a dictionary ? Can you modify
the keys of a dictionary ?

Answer

Yes, we can modify the contents of a dictionary.

Values of key-value pairs are modifiable in dictionary. New key-
value pairs can also be added to an existing dictionary and existing

https://www.knowledgeboat.com/learn/sumita-arora-python-computer-science-class-12-cbse/solutions/BevZLk/revision-tour-2 19/39
3/20/25, 5:23 AM Chapter 2: Python Revision Tour II | Solutions of Computer Science with Python by Sumita Arora for Class 12 CBSE & NCERT …

key-value pairs can be removed.

However, the keys of the dictionary cannot be changed. Instead we
can add a new key : value pair with the desired key and delete the
previous one.
For example:

d = { 1 : 1 }
d[2] = 2
print(d)
d[1] = 3
print(d)
d[3] = 2
print(d)
del d[2]
print(d)

Output

{1: 1, 2: 2}
{1: 3, 2: 2}
{1: 3, 2: 2, 3: 2}
{1: 3, 3: 2}

Explanation

d is a dictionary which contains one key-value pair.

d[2] = 2 adds new key-value pair to d.

d[1] = 3 modifies value of key 1 from 1 to 3.

d[3] = 2 adds new key-value pair to d.

del d[2] deletes the key 2 and its corresponding value.

Question 19

How is del D and del D[<key>] different from one another if D is a

dictionary ?

Answer

del D deletes the entire dictionary D. After executing del D , the

variable D is no longer defined, and any attempt to access D will

result in a NameError .
del D[<key>] deletes the key-value pair associated with the

specified key from the dictionary D . After executing del

D[<key>] , the dictionary D still exists, but the specified key and its

corresponding value are removed from the dictionary.

For example:

d = {1: 'a' , 2 : 'b'}

del d[2]
print(d)
del d
print(d)

Output

https://www.knowledgeboat.com/learn/sumita-arora-python-computer-science-class-12-cbse/solutions/BevZLk/revision-tour-2 20/39

{1:'a'}
NameError: name 'd' is not defined.

Question 20

Create a dictionary named D with three entries, for keys 'a', 'b' and
'c'. What happens if you try to index a nonexistent key (D['d']) ?
What does python do if you try to assign to a nonexistent key d.
(e.g., D['d'] = 'spam') ?

Answer

1. In this example, the dictionary D does not contain the key 'd'.
Therefore, attempting to access this key by D['d'] results in a
KeyError because the key does not exist in the dictionary.
2. If we try to assign a value to a nonexistent key in a dictionary,
python will create that key-value pair in the dictionary. In this
example, the key 'd' did not previously exist in the dictionary
D. When we attempted to assign the value 'spam' to the key
'd', python created a new key-value pair 'd': 'spam' in the
dictionary D.

D = {'a' : 1, 'b' : 2, 'c' : 3}

D['d'] = 'spam'

Output

D = {'a' : 1, 'b' : 2, 'c' : 3, 'd' : 'spam'}

Type B: Application Based Questions

Question 1(a)

What will be the output produced by following code fragments ?

y = str(123)
x = "hello" \* 3
print(x, y)
x = "hello" + "world"
y = len(x)
print(y, x)

Answer

Output

hellohellohello 123
10 helloworld

Explanation

str(123) converts the number 123 to string and stores in y so y

becomes "123". "hello" * 3 repeats "hello" 3 times and stores it in x
so x becomes "hellohellohello".

"hello" + "world" concatenates both the strings so x becomes

"helloworld". As "helloworld" contains 10 characters so len(x)
returns 10.

Question 1(b)

What will be the output produced by following code fragments ?

x = "hello" + \
"to Python" + \
"world"
for char in x :
y = char

Explanation

https://www.knowledgeboat.com/learn/sumita-arora-python-computer-science-class-12-cbse/solutions/BevZLk/revision-tour-2 22/39
3/20/25, 5:23 AM Chapter 2: Python Revision Tour II | Solutions of Computer Science with Python by Sumita Arora for Class 12 CBSE & NCERT …

The code concatenates three strings "hello", "to Python", and

"world" into the variable x . Then, it iterates over each character in
x using a for loop. For each character, it assigns it to the

variable y and prints y followed by a colon and space, all on the

same line due to the end=" " parameter.

Question 1(c)

What will be the output produced by following code fragments ?

x = "hello world"
print(x[:2], x[:-2], x[-2:])
print(x[6], x[2:4])
print(x[2:-3], x[-4:-2])

Answer

Output

he hello wor ld
w ll
llo wo or

Explanation

print(x[:2], x[:-2], x[-2:]) —

x[:2] extracts the substring from the beginning of x up to index 1,

resulting in "he".
x[:-2] extracts the substring from the beginning of x up to the third
last character, resulting in "hello wor".
x[-2:] extracts the substring from the last two characters of x until
the end, resulting in "ld".
Hence, output of this line becomes he hello wor ld

print(x[6], x[2:4]) —

x[6] retrieves the character at index 6, which is 'w'.

x[2:4] extracts the substring from index 2 up to index 3, resulting in
"ll".
Hence, output of this line becomes w ll

print(x[2:-3], x[-4:-2]) —

x[2:-3] extracts the substring from index 2 up to the fourth last

character, resulting in "llo wo".
x[-4:-2] extracts the substring from the fourth last character to the
third last character, resulting in "or".
Hence, output of this line becomes llo wo or

Question 2

Write a short Python code segment that adds up the lengths of all
the words in a list and then prints the average (mean) length.

Answer

print("Average length of words:", average_length)

Output

Enter a list of words: ["apple", "banana", "orange", "kiwi"]

Average length of words: 5.25

 

Explanation

1. The code prompts the user to enter a list of words and assigns
it to the variable word_list .

2. We iterate over word_list using for loop. Inside the loop,

length of each word gets added to total_length variable.
3. Average length is calculated by dividing total_length by the
number of words in word_list .

Question 3

Predict the output of the following code snippet ?

a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
print(a[3:0:-1])

Answer

Output

[4, 3, 2]

Explanation

The slicing notation a[start:stop:step] extracts a portion of the

list from index start to stop-1 with a specified step. In the
slicing part a[3:0:-1] :

start is 3, which corresponds to the element with value 4.

stop is 0, but as element at stop index is excluded so slicing

goes up to index 1.
step is -1, indicating that we want to step backward through

the list.

Putting it together:

a[3:0:-1]

This extracts elements from index 3 to (0+1) in reverse order with

a step of -1.

The output of the code will be:

Question 4(a)

Predict the output of the following code snippet?

arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
for i in range(1, 6):
arr[i - 1] = arr[i]
for i in range(0, 6):
print(arr[i], end = "")

Answer

Output

234566

Explanation

1. arr is initialised as a list with elements [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6].

2. for loop iterates over the indices from 1 to 5. For each index
i , it assigns the value of arr[i] to arr[i - 1] , effectively

shifting each element one position to the left. After this loop,
the list arr becomes [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6] .

3. Second for loop iterates over the indices from 0 to 5 and prints
each element of the list arr without newline characters
because of end="" parameter. Then it prints the elements of
the modified list arr , resulting in 234566 .

Question 4(b)

Predict the output of the following code snippet ?

Numbers = [9, 18, 27, 36]

for N in range(1, Num % 8) :
print(N, "#", end=" ")
print( )

Answer

Output

1 #
1 # 2 #
1 # 2 # 3 #

Explanation

1. Numbers is a list containing the numbers 9, 18, 27, and 36.

2. The outer for loop iterates over each element in the list
Numbers .

https://www.knowledgeboat.com/learn/sumita-arora-python-computer-science-class-12-cbse/solutions/BevZLk/revision-tour-2 25/39
3/20/25, 5:23 AM Chapter 2: Python Revision Tour II | Solutions of Computer Science with Python by Sumita Arora for Class 12 CBSE & NCERT …

3. The inner loop iterates over the range from 1 to the remainder
of Num divided by 8. For example, if Num is 9, the range will
be from 1 to 1 (9 % 8 = 1). If Num is 18, the range will be from
1 to 2 (18 % 8 = 2), and so on. Then it prints the value of N,
followed by a "#", and ensures that the output is printed on the
same line by setting end=" ".
4. After both loops, it prints an empty line, effectively adding a
newline character to the output.

Question 5(a)

Find the errors. State reasons.

t = (1, "a", 9.2)

t[0] = 6

Answer

t[0] = 6 will raise a TypeError as tuples are immutable (i.e., their

elements cannot be changed after creation).

Question 5(b)

Find the errors. State reasons.

t = [1, "a", 9.2]

t[0] = 6

Answer

There are no errors in this python code. Lists in python can contain
elements of any type. As lists are mutable so t[0] = 6 is also
valid.

Question 5(c)

Find the errors. State reasons.

t = [1, "a", 9.2]

t[4] = 6

Answer

t[4] = 6 will raise an error as we are trying to change the value

at index 4 but it is outside the current range of the list t . As t

has 3 elements so its indexes are 0, 1, 2 only.

Question 5(d)

Find the errors. State reasons.

t = 'hello'
t[0] = "H"

Answer

https://www.knowledgeboat.com/learn/sumita-arora-python-computer-science-class-12-cbse/solutions/BevZLk/revision-tour-2 26/39
3/20/25, 5:23 AM Chapter 2: Python Revision Tour II | Solutions of Computer Science with Python by Sumita Arora for Class 12 CBSE & NCERT …

t[0] = "H" will raise an error because strings in python are

immutable, meaning we cannot change individual characters in a

string after it has been created. Therefore, attempting to assign a
new value to t[0] will result in an error.

Question 5(e)

Find the errors. State reasons.

for Name in [Amar, Shveta, Parag]

IF Name[0] = 'S':
print(Name)

Answer

The errors in this code are:

1. In the list [Amar, Shveta, Parag] , each element should be

enclosed in quotes because they are strings.
2. The equality comparison operator is '==' instead of = for
checking equality.
3. if statement should be lowercase.

Question 6

Assuming words is a valid list of words, the program below tries to

print the list in reverse. Does it have an error ? If so, why ? (Hint.
There are two problems with the code.)

for i in range(len(words), 0, -1):

print(words[i], end=' ')

Answer

There are two issue in range(len(words), 0, -1) :

1. The start index len(words) is invalid for the list words as it

will have indexes from 0 to len(words) - 1 .
2. The end index being 0 means that the last element of the list
is missed as the list will be iterated till index 1 only.

The corrected python code is :

for i in range(len(words)-1, -1, -1):

print(words[i], end=' ')

Question 7

ntpl = (a, b, c, d)
print(ntpl[0][0] + ntpl[1][1], ntpl[1])

Answer

Output

a is: Hello
b is: Nita
c is: How's
d is: life ?
Hi Nita

Explanation

ntpl is a tuple containing 4 elements. The statement (a, b, c, d)

= ntpl unpacks the tuple ntpl into the variables a, b, c, d. After

that, the values of the variables are printed.

The statement ntpl = (a, b, c, d) forms a tuple with values of

variables a, b, c, d and assigns it to ntpl. As these variables were
not modified, so effectively ntpl still contains the same values as in
the first statement.

ntpl[0] ⇒ "Hello"
∴ ntpl[0][0] ⇒ "H"

ntpl[1] ⇒ "Nita"
∴ ntpl[1][1] ⇒"i"

ntpl[0][0] and ntpl[1][1] concatenates to form "Hi". Thus

ntpl[0][0]+ntpl[1][1], ntpl[1] will return "Hi Nita ".

Question 8

What will be the output of the following code ?

tuple_a = 'a', 'b'

tuple_b = ('a', 'b')
print (tuple_a == tuple_b)

Answer

Output

True

Explanation

Tuples can be declared with or without parentheses (parentheses

are optional). Here, tuple_a is declared without parentheses where
as tuple_b is declared with parentheses but both are identical. As
both the tuples contain same values so the equality operator ( == )
returns true.

dictionary whose id is stored in id1 and created a new dictionary
with the same contents storing its id in id2 . However, id1 == id2
will compare the contents of the two dictionaries pointed to by id1
and id2 . As contents of both the dictionaries are same hence it
returns True . If in this code we add another line print(id1 is
id2) then this line will print False as id1 and id2 point to two

different dictionary objects in memory.

Explanation

A dictionary my_dict with two key-value pairs, 'name': 'Aman' and

'age': 26 is initialized. Then updates the value associated with the
key 'age' to 27. Then adds a new key-value pair 'address': 'Delhi' to
the dictionary my_dict . The items() method returns all of the
items in the dictionary as a sequence of (key, value) tuples. In this
case, it will print [('name', 'Aman'), ('age', 27), ('address', 'Delhi')].

the variable my_list .
2. Then splits the input string my_list into individual elements and
stores them in a new list called new_list .

3. Then for loop iterates over each element in the new_list.

4. The isdigit() method is used to check if all characters in the
string are digits. If it's true (i.e., if the element consists only of
digits), then it prints the element concatenated with itself three
times. Otherwise, if the element contains non-digit characters,

1. An empty dictionary named my_dict is initialized.

2. my_dict[(1,2,4)] = 8, my_dict[(4,2,1)] = 10,
my_dict[(1,2)] = 12 these lines assign values to the

dictionary my_dict with keys as tuples. Since tuples are

immutable, so they can be used as keys in the dictionary.
3. The for loop iterates over the keys of the dictionary
my_dict . Inside the loop, the value associated with each key

k is added to the variable sum .

4. sum and my_dict are printed.
