35 Amritya Seth is a programmer, who has recently been given a task to write a 1+1+
python code to perform the following binary file operations with the help of two 2
user defined functions/modules: =4
a. AddStudents() to create a binary file called STUDENT.DAT containing
student information – roll number, name and marks (out of 100) of each student.
b. GetStudents() to display the name and percentage of those students who
have a percentage greater than 75. In case there is no student having percentage >
75 the function displays an appropriate message. The function should also display
the average percent.

He has succeeded in writing partial code and has missed out certain statements,
so he has left certain queries in comment lines. You as an expert of Python have
to provide the missing statements and other related queries based on the
following code of Amritya.
Answer the below mentioned questions.
import _______________ # Statement 1
def AddStudents():
____________ # Statement 2 to open the binary file to write data
while True:
Rno = int(input("Rno :"))
