print(k, end='@')
Q7. What will be the output of the following Python statement?
print(2 ** 2 ** 3 + 18 // 4 - 7 % 3)
Q8. Which file mode opens an existing text file for reading and writing, and truncates it to zero length?
a) 'r+' b) 'w+' c) 'a+' d) 'rb+'
Q9. What is the output of the following code?
d = {1:'one', 2:'two', 3:'three'}
[Link](2)
print(len(d), [Link](2, 'NA'))
a) 3 two b) 2 NA c) 2 None d) 3 NA
Q10 and Q11 are Assertion (A) and Reason (R) based. Mark the correct choice as:
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is true but R is false.
(d) A is false but R is true.
Q10. Assertion (A): The pickle module is used to store Python objects in a binary file.
Reason (R): Pickling converts a Python object into a byte stream that can be written to a binary file.
Q11. Assertion (A): A function in Python can return more than one value.
Reason (R): When multiple values are returned, Python packs them into a tuple.
