Q 20 and 21 are ASSERTION AND REASONING based questions. Mark the correct

choice as

(c) A is True but R is False
(d) A is false but R is True

20 Assertion (A): A SELECT command in SQL can have both WHERE and

HAVING clauses.
Reasoning (R): WHERE and HAVING clauses are used to check [1]
conditions, therefore, these can be used interchangeably.
(c) A is True but R is False

21 Assertion (A):- open() is a built in method of python, used for handling data files.
Reason (R):- open() method is used to open a file in Python and it returns a file
object called file handle. The file handle is used to transfer data to and from the file [1]
by calling the functions defined in Python’s io modules.
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation for A

Q No Marks
Section-B ( 7 x 2=14 Marks)

22 What do you mean by type casting? Explain by giving an example. [2]

4/13
 Type casting in Python refers to the process of converting a
variable from one data type to another. This is useful when
we need to perform operations or functions that require a
specific data type. Python provides built-in functions for
type casting.
Type casting can be implicit or explicit:
Implicit: Python automatically converts compatible types
(e.g., int to float during arithmetic operations).
Explicit: You manually convert using type casting functions
(e.g., int(), float()).
For example-
# Original float value
num = 10.5
# Casting to integer
int_num = int(num)
print("Original value:", num) # Output: 10.5
print("After type casting:", int_num) # Output: 10
Briefly describe any two literals in python.
23
In Python, literals are fixed values assigned to variables
or constants directly in the code. They represent data that
does not change.
1. String Literals:
String literals are sequences of characters enclosed in
single quotes ('), double quotes ("), or triple quotes ('''
or """). # Single-quoted string literal
single_quote = 'Hello'
[2]
# Double-quoted string literal
double_quote = "World"
2. Numeric Literals:
Numeric literals represent numbers and are classified into
three types:
Integer literals: Whole numbers (e.g., 10, -5).
Floating-point literals: Decimal numbers (e.g., 3.14,)
Complex literals: Numbers with real and imaginary parts
(e.g., 3 + 4j).
(i) A) Consider the list List=[6,7,8,9]. What will be the output of following
24
operations on List:
a) List*2 b) List *=2
[6, 7, 8, 9, 6, 7, 8, 9] [6, 7, 8, 9, 6, 7, 8, 9]
OR
B) Given a list l=[13,14,15,112,125.7,[12,11,10,15],188]
write python statements to generate the given output.
[14,112, [12,11,10,15]] print(l[1::2]) or print(l[1:6:2]) [2]
(ii) Start with a list [8,9,10]. Do the following with the list functions.

A) Set the second entry in the list to 17 list.insert(1,17)

OR
B) Add 4,5,6 to the end of the list. list.extend([4,5, 6])

Centre to centre distances between various blocks is as follows:

i) Suggest the most suitable place (i.e., Block/Centre) to install the

server of this University with a suitable reason.
Bravo Block having maximum number of computers
ii) Suggest a layout for connecting these blocks for a wired
connectivity.

iii) Suggest the placement of Switches and Modem in the blocks

Switch to be placed in each block to connect computers within
the block. Modem can be placed with server at Bravo Block
iv) Suggest the placement of a Repeater in the network with
justification.
In suggested layout there is no need of repeater as maximum
distance between blocks is 80 mt. But if Bravo to Alpha or
Bravo to Delta are connected a repeater each will be required
between them.
