1. A game has to be made from marbles of five colors; yellow, blue, green, red and Violet where
five marbles has to be kept one upon another. Write a python program using recursion, to find
how many ways these marbles can be arranged.

recursion, to find how many ways their seating can be arranged.

3. Develop a solution to identify the right angle triangle while giving the sides of a triangle.
(Recall from the Pythagoras theorem that in a right triangle, the square of one side equals the
sum of the squares of other two sides)

4. Describe function prototype with example

7. In a class of 50 numbers of students, 6 students are selected for state cricket academy.
Sports faculty of this school has to report to the state cricket academy about the selected
students’ physical fitness. Here is one of the physical measures of the selected students’;
Height in cm is given for those 6 selected students [153,162,148,167,175,151]. By
implementing functions, do the following operations.
(i) State academy selector has to check whether the given height is present in
the selected students list or not.
(ii) State academy selector has to order the height of students in an incremental
manner.
(iii) State academy selector has to identify the maximum height from the list.
8. Tower of Hanoi is a mathematical puzzle where we have three rods and n disks. The
objective of the puzzle is to move the entire stack to another rod, obeying the following
simple rules:
Here is a high-level outline of how to move a tower from the starting pole, to the goal
pole, using an intermediate pole:
1. Move a tower of height-1 to an intermediate pole, using the final pole.
2. Move the remaining disk to the final pole.
3. Move the tower of height-1 from the intermediate pole to the final pole using original
pole.

9. Demonstrate with code the various operations that can be performed on list methods?

10. Write a Python recursive function which computes the nth Fibonacci number. Fibonacci
numbers are defined as fib(0)=1,fib(1)=1,fib(n)=fib(n-1)+fib(n-2) and then find the 8th
Fibonacci number.
