Ans. (b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation for A.

Section B
22. Why are lists called mutable data type? Explain with examples. (2)
Ans. Lists are called mutable data type because the values in a list can be changed or modified and can be accessed
using the index value enclosed within square brackets.
For example:
L = [1,3,6,7,98]
L[2] = 56
The new list is L = [1,3,56,7,98].

Appendices A.37
 23. What is implicit conversion in Python? (2)
Ans. Implicit conversion in Python is also known as coercion. This conversion means that the data type conversion
is done automatically during run-time and is not instructed by the programmer.
For example:
x=9
y=99.0
z=x+y
print(z)
So, it gives the output 108.0 as implicit conversion is performed to convert it into float automatically.

II. (a) Write a statement to find the sum of all elements in T1.
OR
(b) Write a statement to find the length of T2.
Ans. I. (a) L1 = list(T1)
OR
(b) Max_Value = max(T2)
II. (a) T_Sum= sum(T1)
OR
(b) T2_length = len(T2)
25. Identify the correct output(s) of the following code. Also write the minimum and the maximum possible values
of the variable val. (2)
import random
s =[100,75,10,125]
val =random.randint(0,3)
for j in range(val):
   print(s[j],"$$")
(a) 100$$ (b) 100$$
75$$ 99$$
10$$
(c) 150$$ (d) 125$$
100$$ 10$$
Ans. The correct output is:
(a) 100$$
75$$
10$$
The minimum value of variable val is 0 and the maximum value of variable val is 3.
26. The following code is intended to check whether a number is positive or not; if negative, then make it a
