8.0-8
0.0
[4.] What possible output from the given options is expected to be displayed when the following Python code is executed?
import random
Signal = [ 'RED, 'YELLOW', 'GREEN' ]
for K in range(2, 0, -1):
R = random.randrange(K)
print (Signal[R], end = ' # ')
(a) YELLOW # RED #
(b) RED # GREEN #
(c) GREEN # RED #
(d) YELLOW # GREEN
Ans. a) YELLOW # RED #
Explanation: The random.range(k) will generate the values 0 and 1. Hence, it generates output with compbination of yellow and red only.
[5.] In SQL, the aggregate function which will display the cardinality of the table is____
(a) Sum()
(b) Count(*)
(c) Avg()
(d) Sum(*)
[6.] Which protocol out of the following is used to send and receive emails over a computer network?

myStr=”MISSISSIPPI”
print( myStr[:4] + “#”+myStr [-5:])(a) MISSI#SIPPI
(b) MISS#SIPPI
(c) MISS#IPPIS
(d) MISSI#IPPIS
Ans. b) MISS#SIPPI

(b) [‘Presidency@2023’]
(c) [‘G20’]
(d) ‘Presidency@2023’
Ans. b) [‘Presidency@2023’]
Explanation:
The Split method will splits the screen into the list as [“G20”,’Presidency@2023′]
The L[::-2] will display the list elements from reverse. Hence this list contains only two elements so last element will be displayed – [‘Presidency20@23’]

(b) 20
(c) 30
(d) Error
Ans. b) 20
Explanation:
The functions is defined and calculation has been performed but the final is neither returned not printed in the code. Hence the value of a remains unchanged and display as same as iniitiazed at the beginning.
