b) It returns the byte position of the file pointer as an integer.
c) It returns the entire content of the file.
d) It tells the details about the file.
2 Which of the following option is the correct python statement to read and display the first 10
characters of a text file “Notes.txt”?
(a) F=open(‘Notes.txt’) (b) F=open(‘Notes.txt’)
print(F.load(10)) print(F.dump(10))

(c) F=open(‘Notes.txt’) (d) F=open(‘Notes.txt’)

print(F.read(10)) print(F.write(10))
3 Which Python approach is used for object serialization in handling of Binary File?
(a) Pickling (b) Un-pickling (c) Merging (d) None of these
4 Write the missing statement to complete the following code:
file = open("abc.txt", "r")
d = file.read(50)
____________________ #Move the file pointer to the beginning of the file
next_data = file.read(75)
file.close()
5 Which of the following File Open modes opens the file in append and read mode. If the file
doesn’t exist, then it will create a new file.
a. “a+” b. “r+” c. “a+r” d. “r+a”
6 Write a Python function that displays all the words starting from the letter ‘C’ in the text file
"chars.txt".
7 Write a function that displays the line number along with no of words in it from the file
Quotes.txt
Example :
None can destroy iron, but its own rust can!
Likewise, none can destroy a person, but their own mindset can
The only way to win is not be afraid of losing.
Output:
Line Number No of words
Line 1: 9
Line 2: 11
Line 3: 11
8 Write a Python function that extracts and displays all the words containing a hyphen ("-")
from a text file "HyphenatedWords.txt", which has a three letter word before hypen and four
letter word after hypen.
For example: “for-them” is such a word.
9 Write a method/function show_todo():in python to read contents from a text file abc.txt and
display those lines which have occurrence of the word “ TO” or “DO”
For example:
If the content of the file is
 “THIS IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT SUCCESS IS THE RESULT OF HARD WORK.
WE ALL ARE EXPECTED TO DO HARD WORK.
AFTER ALL EXPERIENCE COMES FROM HARDWORK.”

The method/function should display:

THIS IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT SUCCESS IS THE RESULT OF HARD WORK.

the following functions.
i) Prj_input() - to input data of a project of student and append to the binary
file named Projects
 ii) Prj_update () - to update the project details whose member are more than 3 duration as 3
months.
iii) Prj_solo () - to read the data from the binary file and display the data of all project
synopsis whose member is one.
14 (i) What are the similarities and difference between a+ and w+ file modes in Python.
(ii) A binary file “product.dat” has structure [PNO, PNAME, BRAND_NAME, PRICE] to
maintain and manipulate Product details.
 Write a user defined function CreateFile() to input data for a record and add to
“product.dat” file. The number of records to be entered until the user chooses ‘Y’ /
‘Yes’.
 Write a function CountData(BRAND_NAME) in Python which accepts the brand
name as parameter and count and return number of products by the given brand are
