MCQ PYTHON VARIABLE NAMES By Gajendra Sir Mo. No. : 9810301034
VARIABLE NAMES Reasons
Ans 1. a [ Case is always significant. ]
Ans 2. d [ Identifiers can be of any length. ]
Ans 3. d [ All the statements will execute successfully but at the cost of reduced readability. ]
Ans 4. b [ Variable names should not start with a number ]
Ans 5. a [ As Python has no concept of private variables, leading underscores are used to indicate
variables that must not be accessed from outside the class. ]
Ans 6. a [ eval can be used as a variable.]
Ans 7. d [ True, False and None are capitalized while the others are in lower case. ]
Ans 8. a [ no rule for length of variable. ]
Ans 9. b [ Spaces are not allowed in variable names. ]
Ans 10. b [ in is a keyword. ]

BASIC OPERATORS Reasons

Ans 1. b [ In python, power operator is x**y i.e. 2**3=8. ]
Ans 2. b [ When both of the operands are integer then python chops out the fraction part and gives you the round off
value, to get the accurate answer use floor division. This is floor division. For ex, 5/2 = 2.5 but both of the operands are integer so
answer of this expression in python is 2.To get the 2.5 answer, use floor division. ]
Ans 3. a [ For order of precedence, just remember this PEMDAS (similar to BODMAS) ]
Ans 4. b [ Modulus operator gives the remainder. So, 22%3 gives the remainder, that is, 1. ]
Ans 5. b [ You can’t perform mathematical operation on string even if the string is in the form: ‘1234…’. ]
Ans 6. a [ None. ]
Ans 7. c [ First this expression will solve 1**3 because exponential has higher precedence than multiplication, so 1**3 = 1
and 3*1 = 3. Final answer is 3. ]
Ans 8. a [ “Addition and Subtraction” are at the same precedence level. Similarly, “Multiplication and Division” are at the
same precedence level. However, Multiplication and Division operators are at a higher precedence level than Addition and
Subtraction operators.
Ans 9. a [ None.
Ans 10. d [ Just remember: PEMDAS, that is, Parenthesis, Exponentiation, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction.
Note that the precedence order of Division and Multiplication is the same. Likewise, the order of Addition and Subtraction is also
the same. ]
CORE DATA TYPES Reasons
Ans 1. d [ Class is a user defined data type. ]
Ans 2. d [ Python shell throws a None Type object back. ]
Ans 3. a [ We are printing only the 1st two bytes of string and hence the answer is “he”. ]
Ans 4. a [ Execute help(round) in the shell to get details of the parameters that are passed into the round function. ]
Ans 5. a [ Execute help(id) to find out details in python shell.id returns a integer value that is unique. ]
Ans 6. d [ // is integer operation in python 3.0 and int(..) is a type cast operator. ]
Ans 7. b [ Mango is not defined hence name error. ]
Ans 8. a [ Python codes have to be indented properly. ]
Ans 9. a [ List data type can store any values within it. ]
Ans 10. d [ Dictionary stores values in terms of keys and values. ]
Ans 11. c [ Carefully look at the colons ]
Ans 12. c [ The \n adds a new line. ]
Ans 13. a [ Cause a decimal value of 0 to appear as output. ]
Ans 14. c [ Execute in the shell. ]
Ans 15. a [ Execute help(math.trunc) to get details. ]
NUMERIC TYPES Reasons
Ans 1. b [ Neither of 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 can be represented accurately in binary. The round off errors from 0.1 and 0.2
accumulate and hence there is a difference of 5.5511e-17 between (0.1 + 0.2) and 0.3. ]
Ans 2. c [ l (or L) stands for long. ]
Ans 3. c [ Infinity is a special case of floating point numbers. It can be obtained by float(‘inf’). ]
Ans 4. a [ ~x is equivalent to -(x+1). ]

Ans 5. a [ ~x is equivalent to -(x+1). ]
Ans 6. d [ Numbers starting with a 0 are octal numbers but 9 isn’t allowed in octal numbers. ]
Ans 7. a [ max(x, y) returns x if x > y, y if x <y ]
Ans 8. d [ ‘+’ cannot be converted to a float. ]
Ans 9. b [ Python rounds off numbers away from 0 when the number to be rounded off is exactly halfway
through. ]
Ans 10. d [ ^ is the Binary XOR operator. ]
