SOLVED QUESTIONS

1. What is a list?
Ans. A list is a mutable sequence of values which can be of any type. Lists are indexed by an integer. Elements
of a list are enclosed in square brackets [ ], separated by commas. Lists allow duplicate values as well. The
elements of a list can be accessed by its index.
2. What are the differences between lists and strings?
Ans. The differences between lists and strings are:
(a) Strings cannot be changed but lists are mutable. They can be changed.
(b) Lists use square brackets unlike strings which are enclosed in single or double quotes.
(c) Strings store single type of elements but lists can store elements of different types.
3. Can lists be used as keys in Python dictionaries? Justify your answer.
Ans. No, lists cannot be used as keys in a dictionary because lists are mutable while keys of the dictionary are
immutable by default.
4. What is the difference between pop() and remove() functions?
Ans. pop() function removes the elementfrom the specified index and also returns the element which was removed.
if no index value is provided in pop(), then the last element is deleted. remove() function is used when we
know the element to be deleted but not the index of the element. It does not return the deleted element.
5. Given below are statements for creating lists. Find errors, if any, and rewrite the correct statements.
(a) L1= 1,6,a,8

for row in values:
row. sort()
for element in row:
print (element, end = " ")
print()
Ans. (a) [9, 13, 28, 2, 7]
(b) 1 3 4 5

9. Suppose listl is [3, 4, 5, 20, 5, 25, 1, 3]. What is listl after listl.pop(1)?
Ans. [3, 5, 20, 5, 25, 1, 3]
10. What will the output of the following statements?
(a) listl = [12,32,65,26,80,10]
listl.sort()
print (listl)
(b) listl = [12,32,65,26,80,10]
sorted(listl)
print (listl)
(c) listl = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
listl [: :-2]
listl [:3] + listl [3: ]
(d) listl = [1,2,3,4,5]
listl [len (list1)-1]
Ans. (a) [10,12,26,32,65,80]
Explanation:
Line 1: Creation of list with the list object listl and values -12, 32, 65, 26, 80, 10.
Line 2: listl.sort() function sorts all values in ascending order.
Line 3: Finally the list is printed.
(b) [10,12,26,32,65,80]
[12,32,65,26,80,10]
Explanation:
Line 1: Creation of list with the list object listl and values -12, 32, 65, 26, 80, 10.
Line 2: sorted(listl) function sorts all values and displayed the sorted list.
Line 3: Print the listl as it is without modifying the list.
(c) [10,8,6,4,2]
[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
Explanation:
Line 1: Creation of list with list object listl and values- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
Line 2: List1 [: : -2] reverses the list with skip value -2.
Line 3: As the first slice returns the first three elements and the next slice returns all elements except
the first three elements.
(d) 5
Explanation:
Line 1: Creation of list with list object listl and values -1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Line 2: The len() function returns total number of elements from the list. So, the len(listl) = 5.
Therefore, the element at list [5 - 1] = list [4] is 5.
 11. Differentiate between append() and extend() methods of list.
Ans.
append() extend()
append() function adds one element to a list at a extend() function adds multiple elements to a list
time. at a time.
The multiple values can be added using a list as a If user adds multiple values in the form of list as a
parameter but append adds them as a list only. parameter, it will add as separate values.
Example: Example:
t1=[1,2,3] t1=[1,2,3]
tl . append ( [4,5] ) tl . extend ( [4,5] )
print(tl) print(tl)
The output will be: [1,2,3, [4,5] ] The output will be: [1,2,3,4,5]

12. Consider a list:

listl = [6,7,8,9]
What is the difference between the following operations on listl:
(a) listl*2
(b) listl*=2
(c) listl=listl*2
Ans. (a) The * operator is treated as a replication operator when the list object is referred to with any numeric
value. So, here it will replicate the list values. Therefore, it returns [6,7,8,9,6,7,8,9].
(a) It is a shorthand operator and will also produce a similar result like question (a).
(c) It also produces a similar result as the statement is also similar.
13. The record of a student (Name, Roll No, Marks in five subjects and percentage of marks) is stored in the
following list:
stRecord = [ 'Raman' , 'A-36' , [56,98,99,72,69] , 78.8]
Write Python statements to retrieve the following information from the list stRecord.
(a) Percentage of the student.
(b) Marks in the fifth subject.
(c) Maximum marks of the student.
(d) Roll No. of the student.
(e) Change the name of the student from 'Raman' to 'Raghav'.
(f) Access the index directly which is given at 0th index in the list.
Ans. (a) As percentage is given at the end of the list which is at the 3rd index, the statement will be written in this
manner:
perc=stRecord [3]
print (perc)
(b) As marks are given at 2nd index and it is a nested list with five subjects, the marks list index will be 4th.
So, the statement will be:
marks sub5 = stRecord [2] [4]
print (marks sub5)
(c) We need to access marks here and return the maximum value. To do this, use max() function:
marks_max = max (stRecord [2 ] )
print (marks_max)
(d) Access the index directly, which is given at ist index in the list.
rno = stRecord [1]
print (rno)
(e) Change the name of the student from 'Raman' to `Raghav'.
stRecord [0] =' Raghav'
print (stRecord)
(f) sname = stRecord [0]
print (sname)
 14. Given a Python list, find value 20 in the list, and if it is present, replace it with 200. Only update the first

Expected output:
listl = [5,10,15,200,25,50,20]
Ans. listl = [5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50, 20]
