Questions 16 to 18 are Assertion-Reasoning based. Choose the correct
option:
16 Assertion (A): The list data type in Python is immutable. 1
Reason (R): Lists are sequences of elements that cannot be modified
once created.
a. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
b. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
c. A is true, but R is false.
d. A is false, but R is true.
17 Assertion (A): The `elif` statement in Python is used to check multiple 1
conditions.
Reason (R): The `elif` statement is only used after an `if` statement.
a. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
b. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
c. A is true, but R is false.
d. A is false, but R is true.
18 Assertion (A): In Python, a tuple can contain elements of different data 1
types.
Reason (R): Tuples are mutable, meaning they can be changed after
creation.
a. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
[3]
b. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
c. A is true, but R is false.
d. A is false, but R is true.
