Q17 and 18 are ASSERTION AND REASONING based questions.
Mark the correct choice as
i. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation for A
ii. Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation for A
iii. A is True but R is False
iv. A is false but R is True
17. Assertion(A):Key word arguments are related to the function calls 1

Reason(R): When you use keyword arguments in a function call, the caller identifies the
arguments by the parameter name

i. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation for A

18. Assertion (A): - The acronym for a CSV File is “ Comma Separated Value” 1

Reasoning (R):- Since the seprator symbols between data elements with a line should
always be a comma hence the name CSV originated.

SECTION B
19. Mithilesh has written a code to input a number and evaluate its factorial and then finally 2
print the result in the format : “The factorial of the <number> is <factorial value>” His code
is having errors. Rewrite the correct code and underline the corrections made.

f=0
num = input("Enter a number whose factorial you want to evaluate :")
n = num
while num > 1:
 f = f * num
num -= 1
else:
print("The factorial of : ", n , "is" , f)

Ans :

1. f =1 # f is wrongly initialized to 0
2. int( ) must be used with input( )
3. else part of while should be properly indented
4. print("The factorial of : ", n , "is" , f)
Hence the correct code will be :

f=1
num = int(input("Enter a number whose factorial you want to evaluate :"))
org_num = num
while num > 1:
f = f * num
num -= 1
else:
print("The factorial of : ", org_num , "is" , f)

33. What is the significance of a delimiter symbol in a csv file? Write a Program in Python that 5
defines and calls the following user defined functions:
 (i) ADD_CONT() – To accept and add data of a contact to a CSV file ‘address.csv’.

file phonebook.dat with contactNo, name and blocked [ Y/ N ]. The file contains 10 records
as a dictionary like {‘contactNo’ : 32344455 , ‘name’: ‘kamal kant’ ,’blocked’ : “Y” }

She now wants to shift all the records which have blocked = ‘Y’ status from phonebook.dat
to a binary file blocked.dat also all records which have blocked = ‘N’ status from
phonebook.dat to unblocked.dat. She also wants to keep count and print the total number
of blocked and unblocked records. As a Python expert, help her to complete the following
code based on the requirement given above:

import _____________ #Statement 1

def shift_contact( ):
fin = open(“phonebook.dat”,’rb’)
fblock = open( ___________________ ) #Statement 2
funblock = open( ___________________ ) #Statement 3
while True :
try:
rec = __________________ # Statement 4
 if rec[“blocked”] == ‘Y’:
pickle.__________________ #Statement 5
if rec[“blocked”] == ‘N’:
Pickle. ________________ # Statement 6
except:
break

(i) Which module should be imported in the program? (Statement 1)

(ii) Write the correct statement required to open a blocked.dat and unblocked.dat
binary files (Statement 2 and 3)
(iii) which statement should Vaishnavi use in statement 4 to read the data from the
binary file, phonebook.dat
(iv) which statement should Vaishnavi use in statement 5 and 6 to write data to the
blocked.dat and unblocked.dat

Ans :
(i) pickle ( 1 mark)
(ii) open( “blocked.dat” , “wb”) ; open(“unblocked.dat”,”wb”) ( ½ + ½ )
(iii) pickle.load(fin) ( 1 Mark)
(iv) pickle.dump(rec,fblock);pickle.dump(rec , funblock) ( ½ + ½ )
