SAMPLE PAPER
General Instruction:
(a). Make sure to follow a sequence while writing.
(b). Paper is divided into three sections i.e. A, B and C
(c). Section A contains VERY Short Answer Type questions of 5 marks
(d). Section B contains Short Answer Type Questions of 10 marks with internal choices
(e). Section C contains Long Answer Type Questions of 10 marks
SECTION A (VERY SHORT ANSWER TYPE)-5 MARKS
Q1. Which of the following functions will return the string with every ‘P’ replaced with a ‘z’ ? 1
a. find() b. index()
c. replace() d. split()
Q2. The elements of a list are arranged in descending order. Which of the following two will 1
give same outputs?
i. print(list_name.sort()) ii. print(max(list_name))
iii. print(list_name.reverse()) iv. print(list_name[-1])
Q3. Which of the following is/ are not legal string operators? 1
a) in b) +
c) * d) /
e)
Q4 and Q5 are ASSERTION AND REASONING based questions. Mark the correct choice as
A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation for A
B) Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation for A
C) A is True but R is False
D) A is false but R is True
Q4. Assertion(A): Assigning a list name to a new name does not create a true copy of a list 1
rather it just creates an alias.
Reasoning(R): An alias simple refers to the old list with a new name, while a true copy
creates a new list with a different memory location.
Q5. Assertion (A): String slices and substring both are extracted subparts of a string. 1
Reasoning(R): String slices and substrings mean the same.
SECTION B (SHORT ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS)- 10 MARKS
Q6. Given a string S, write expressions to print 2
i. First five characters of S
ii. Ninth characters of S
iii. Reversed S
iv. Alternate characters from reversed S
OR
What is the difference between sort and sorted function in list.
Q7. What is the difference between split() and partition () functions? 2
Q8. Predict an output of the following: 2
x=’hello world’
print(x[:2],x[:-2],x[-2:])
print(x[6],x[2:4])
print(x[2:-3],x[-4:-2])
OR
Predict an output of the following:
my_lst:-[‘p’,’r’,’o’,’b’,’l’,’e’,’m’]
my_lst[2:3]=[]
print(my_lst)
my_lst[2:5]=[]
print(my_lst)
Q9. An index out of bounds given with a list name causes error, but not with a list slices. Why? 2
Q10. Start with the list [8,9,10]. Do the following using list functions 2
a. Remove the second entry from the list
b. Double the list
c. Add 4,5 and 6 to the end of the list
d. Sort the list
SECTION C (LONG ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS)- 10 MARKS
Q11. A. Write a program in Python that consider any list of numbers and finds out the 4
product of all unique numbers. As an example [2+2]
If the list is [2,3,4,1,2,6,5,3,4,7], result will be 5x1x6x7 = 210
B. Write a program that takes a sentence as an input where each word in the sentences
is separated by a space the function should replace each blank with a hyphen and
then print the modified sentences.
Q12. A. Write a program in list which considers any list of numbers and remove all the 6
occurrence of an element from a list. [3+3]
B. Write a program which replaces all vowels in the string with ‘*’ and print the new
