Practical A. The user will be asked to provide their Contact Number (used as the username) and
Problem Password. Authentication will be based on static data. If the user fails to log in after three
attempts, display the message: 'You have exceeded the maximum limit for login attempts.
Please contact your administrator!' Ensure that both fields are validated.
B. Write a program that prompts the user to enter their grade (a number between 0 and 100)
and classifies it into one of the following categories: A, B, C, D, or F. Use conditional statements
to determine the grade classification.
C. Write a program that generates and prints a multiplication table for a given number. The table
should display the results of multiplying the number by integers from 1 to 10.
D. Create a program that prompts the user to enter a string. Count and print the number of
vowels (a, e, i, o, u) in the string. Ignore case and handle both uppercase and lowercase
vowels.
Objective(s) To gain proficiency in Python programming by applying loops and conditional statements to solve
practical problems.

Practical A. Write a program that prompts the user to enter a list of numbers. The program should
Problem calculate and display the total number of elements in the list, the maximum value in the list,
and the minimum value in the list.
B. Develop a Python program that initializes a list named sports with the following predefined
elements: ["soccer", "basketball", "tennis", "baseball", "hockey"]. The program should
perform three operations on this list. First, append a new sport, such as "volleyball," to the
end of the list. Second, count and display how many times a specific sport, like "tennis,"
appears in the list. Additionally, extend the list by adding elements from another list of sports,
such as ["cricket", "rugby", "swimming"]. After each operation, display the updated list to
show the changes made.
C. Write a program that prompts the user to enter a list of favorite numbers, such as [3, 1, 4, 1,
5, 9]. The program should first reverse the order of the elements in the list, and then sort the
list in ascending order. Display the list after each operation to show the changes.
Objective(s) Develop Python programs to compare lists, analyze list elements, manipulate predefined lists, and
perform list modifications including reversing and sorting.

Practical Shivansh wants to perform a series of operations on a tuple containing cities he plans to visit using
Problem Python. Consider this tuple of cities: ('Paris', 'New York', 'Tokyo', 'Berlin', 'Sydney').
A. Printing Each City: First, Shivansh needs to write a program that prints each city in the tuple
one by one.
B. Checking for a Specific City: Next, he wants to check if a specific city, such as 'Tokyo,' is
present in the tuple and print an appropriate message based on its presence (e.g., Print "City
found" if the city is in the tuple. Print "City not found" if the city is not in the tuple).
C. Updating the Tuple: After that, Shivansh plans to update the tuple by creating a new tuple
that combines the original tuple with a new city, removes an existing city (which requires
creating a new tuple without the unwanted city), and prints the updated tuple.
D. Shivansh also aims to analyze the tuple further by performing advanced operations,
including:
a. Counting Occurrences: Counting how many times a specific city appears in the tuple.
b. Finding First and Last Cities Alphabetically: Identifying the city that comes first
and last alphabetically.
c. Slicing the Tuple: Extracting a sub-tuple containing only a portion of the cities.
d. Finding the Length: Determining the total number of cities in the tuple.
e. Extending the Tuple: Extending the tuple by concatenating it with another tuple of
cities.
f. Finding Index of a City: Determining the index of a specific city within the tuple.
g. Tuple Unpacking: Unpacking the tuple into individual variables representing each
city.
Objective(s) Develop Python programs to analyze and manipulate tuples, perform tuple slicing, counting, and
indexing, and handle tuple operations such as concatenation, unpacking, and updating through new
tuple creation.
Pre-requisite Basic understanding of tuple operations and Python programming concepts.

Practical Rishi wants to perform a series of operations on a set of unique elements using Python. Consider this
Problem set of integers: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}.
A. Printing Each Element: First, Shivansh needs to write a program that prints each element in
the set one by one.
B. B. Checking for a Specific Element: Next, he wants to check if a specific element, such as 3, is
present in the set and print an appropriate message based on its presence (e.g., Print
"Element found" if the element is in the set. Print "Element not found" if the element is not in
the set).
C. Updating the Set: Add a new element, such as 6, to the set and print the updated set. Remove
an existing element, such as 2, from the set and print the updated set.
D. Managing and Analyzing the Set:
a. Adding Multiple Elements: Add multiple new elements at once, such as {7, 8, 9}, and
print the updated set.
b. Finding the Difference: Find the difference between the current set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} and
another set, such as {4, 5, 6, 7}, and print the resulting set.
c. Finding the Intersection: Determine the intersection between the current set {1, 2, 3,
4, 5} and another set, such as {3, 4, 5, 6, 7}, and print the resulting set.
d. Finding Symmetric Differences: Find the symmetric difference between the current
set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} and another set, such as {4, 5, 6, 7}, and print the resulting set.
e. Union of Sets: Find the union of the current set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} and another set, such as
{6, 7, 8, 9}, and print the resulting set.
f. Popping an Element: Remove and return an arbitrary element from the current set,
and print the updated set.
g. Discarding and removing an Element: Remove a specific element, such as 3, and print
the updated set.
Objective(s) Develop Python programs to manipulate sets, including element lookups, union, intersection,
difference, and advanced operations like symmetric differences.

Practical Darsh wants to perform a series of operations on a dictionary that stores the population of various
Problem cities using Python. Consider this dictionary of cities and their populations: {'Paris': 2148327, 'New
York': 8175133, 'Tokyo': 13929286, 'Berlin': 3644826, 'Sydney': 5312163}.

A. Printing Each City and Population: First, Shivansh needs to write a program that prints
each city and its population one by one.
B. Checking for a Specific City: Next, he wants to check if a specific city, such as 'Tokyo,' is
present in the dictionary and print an appropriate message based on its presence (e.g., Print
"City found" and display the population if the city is in the dictionary. Print "City not found"
if the city is not in the dictionary).
C. Updating the Dictionary: After that, Shivansh plans to update the dictionary by adding a
new city with its population, removing an existing city, and printing the updated dictionary.
D. Darsh also aims to analyze the dictionary further by performing advanced operations,
including:
a. Updating a Population: Modifying the population value of an existing city.
b. Merging Dictionaries: Combining this dictionary with another dictionary of cities and
their populations.
c. Counting Entries: Counting the total number of cities in the dictionary.
d. Finding Minimum and Maximum Populations: Identifying the cities with the smallest
