a) Assign 10 to variable length and 20 to variable breadth.
b) Assign the average of values of variables length and breadth to a variable
sum.
c) Assign a list containing strings ‘Paper’, ‘Get Pen’, and ‘Eraser’ to a variable
stationery.

11. Give the output of the following when num1 = 4, num2 = 3, num3 = 2
a) num1 + = num2 + num3
Print (num1)
b) num1 = num1* * (num2 + num3)
print (num1)
c) num1 * * = num2 + num3
print (num1)
d) print (4.00 / (2.0 + 2.0 ))
e) num1 = 2 + 9 * ((3 * 12) – 8) / 10
print (num1)
f) print (5 % 10 + 10 < 50 and 29 <= 29)
12. Write a Python program to convert temperature in degree Celsius to degree
Fahrenheit. If water boils at 100 degree C and freezes as 0 degree C, use the
program to find out what is the boiling point and freezing point of water on the
Fahrenheit scale.
(Hints: T(0F) = T(0C) * 9/5 + 32)
13. Write a Python program to calculate the amount payable if money has been lent
on simple interest. Principal or money lent = P, Rate of interest = R% per annum
and Time = T years, Then Simplest Interest SI = (P * R * T)/100.
Amount payable = Principal + SI
14. Write a program to enter two integers and perform all arithmetic operations on
them.
15. Write a program to swap two numbers using a third variable.
16. What is Debugging? Define its categories with suitable examples.
