Question 1: What is the correct way to create a variable named age with the value
25 in Python

A) age == 25

• B) age := 25

• C) age = 25
• D) int age = 25

Answer: C) age = 25

Rationale: Python uses the assignment operator = to assign values to variables. == is a
comparison operator, := is the walrus operator used in expressions, and int age = 25 is
invalid Python syntax .




Question 2: Which of the following is a valid variable name in Python?

• A) 2nd_place
• B) my-variable
• C) _private_var
• D) class

Answer: C) _private_var

,Rationale: Variable names can start with a letter or underscore ( _), followed by letters,
numbers, or underscores. They cannot start with a digit (eliminating A), cannot contain
hyphens (eliminating B), and cannot be reserved keywords like class (eliminating D) .




Question 3: What is the data type of the value 3.14 in Python?

• A) Integer
• B) Float
• C) String
• D) Boolean

Answer: B) Float

Rationale: Any number with a decimal point is a floating-point number (float) in Python.
Integers (int) are whole numbers without a decimal point .




Question 4: What is the output of type()?

• A) <class 'int'>
• B) <class 'float'>
• C) <class 'str'>
• D) <class 'bool'>

Answer: B) <class 'float'>

Rationale: In Python, the / operator always returns a float, even when the result is a
whole number. evaluates to 5.0, which is a float .




Question 5: Which function converts the string "123" to an integer?

• A) str("123")
• B) int("123")
• C) float("123")

, • D) bool("123")

Answer: B) int("123")

Rationale: The int() function converts a value to an integer. "123" is a string containing
digits, so it can be successfully converted to the integer 123 .




Question 6: What is the output of bool(0)?

• A) True
• B) False
• C) 0
• D) None

Answer: B) False

Rationale: In Python, 0 is considered False when converted to a Boolean. Any non-zero
number (positive or negative) is considered True .




Question 7: What is the output of bool("") (empty string)?

• A) True
• B) False
• C) ""
• D) Error

Answer: B) False

Rationale: An empty string is considered False in a Boolean context. Non-empty strings
are considered True .




Question 8: What happens when you run int("3.14")?

, • A) Returns 3
• B) Returns 3.14
• C) Returns "3.14"
• D) Raises a Value Error

Answer: D) Raises a ValueError

Rationale: int() can only convert strings that represent whole numbers. "3.14" contains a
decimal point, so Python raises a ValueError .




Question 9: What is the output of print(type("Hello"))?

• A) <class 'str'>
• B) <class 'int'>
• C) <class 'float'>
• D) <class 'bool'>

Answer: A) <class 'str'>

Rationale: The type() function returns the data type of the argument. "Hello" is a string
(str), which is a sequence of characters enclosed in quotes .




Question 10: What is the output of print("5" + "3")?

• A) 8
• B) 53
• C) Error
• D) 5 3

Answer: B) 53

Rationale: String concatenation joins strings. "5" + "3" results in "53" because both
operands are strings. If you wanted numeric addition, you would need to convert them to
integers first .
