Q1.
Which expression evaluates to True?
A. 0.1 + 0.2 == 0.3 B. bool('False')
C. 5 // 2 == 2.5 D. not (3 > 2)
Correct: B - bool('False')
Rationale:bool('False') is True because any non-empty string is truthy in Python; 'False' is a
non-empty string, not the boolean False. The other expressions are either False due to
floating-point representation, integer floor division, or logical negation of a true statement.
Why the other answers are wrong:
A. 0.1 + 0.2 yields 0.30000000000000004 due to binary floating-point representation, so the
equality is False.
C. 5 // 2 uses floor division and returns the integer 2, not 2.5.
D. 3 > 2 is True, and not True evaluates to False.
Reference: Python Software Foundation. (2025). The Python Tutorial, §3.1.1 Numbers and §4.2 for
Statements.
Q2.
Given x = [10, 20, 30, 40], what is the value of x[1:3]?
A. [20, 30] B. [20, 30, 40]
C. [10, 20, 30] D. [30, 40]
Correct: A - [20, 30]
Rationale:Python slicing uses a half-open interval: x[1:3] returns elements from index 1 up to
but not including index 3, i.e., [20, 30]. The other options misapply the start/stop boundaries
or include the wrong endpoints.
Why the other answers are wrong:
B. This would correspond to x[1:4], which includes index 3.
C. This would correspond to x[0:3], which starts at index 0.
D. This would correspond to x[2:4], which starts at index 2.

Q3.
What is the output of the following code?
for i in range(3):
if i == 1:
continue
print(i, end=' ')
A. 0 1 2 B. 0 2
C. 1 D. 0 1
Correct: B - 0 2
Rationale:The continue statement skips the remainder of the current iteration when i == 1, so
only 0 and 2 are printed. The other options either ignore the skip or misapply when continue
triggers.
Why the other answers are wrong:
A. This would be output if continue were absent.
C. This would print only the skipped value, which is incorrect.
D. This would occur if the loop stopped early or skipped 2 instead of 1.
Reference: Python Software Foundation. (2025). The Python Tutorial, §4.4 break and continue
Statements.
Q4.
Which mutable data structure should be used to store an ordered sequence of student
names that must be updated frequently by index?
A. tuple B. frozenset
C. list D. str
Correct: C - list
Rationale:A list is ordered, mutable, and supports index-based assignment, making it
appropriate for frequent updates. Tuples and strings are immutable, and frozenset is
unordered and immutable.
Why the other answers are wrong:
A. Tuples are ordered but immutable, so element updates by index are not allowed.
B. frozenset is unordered and immutable, so it cannot support indexed updates.
D. Strings are immutable sequences and cannot be modified in place.
