Q.No 9 and 10 are ASSERTION(A) AND REASONING(R) based
questions. Mark the correct choice as
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation
for A.
(b) Both A and R are true and R is not correct explanation
for A
(c) A is true but R is false
(d) A is false but R is true
9. Assertion (A): key wore arguments are related to the function (R)
calls.
(1)
Reason (R): When you use keyword arguments in function call,
the, caller identifies the arguments by the parameter
name.
10 Assertion (A): After importing a module through import ( R) (1)
statement, all its function definitions , variables,
constant etc are made available in the market

Reason (R): import module definition do not become part of the

program name spaces if imported through an
import <module> statement

19. Rewrite the following code in python after removing all syntax (4)
error(s). Underline each correction done in the code (A)
Value =30
for VAL in range(0,Value)
If val%4==0:
print (VAL*4)
Elseif val %5==0:
print(VAL+3)

21 Find the program code given below, Identify the parts mentioned (5)
below: (CB)
def processNumber(x):
x=72
return x+3
y=54
res=processNumber(y)
identify the parts: Function header, Function call
arguments, parameters, and Function body
22. Traffic accident occur due to various reasons. While problems (5)
with roads or inadequate safety facilities lead to some accidents,
majority of the accidents are caused by drivers’ carelessness and
their failure to abide by traffic rules. (CB)
ITS Roadwork is a company that deals with manufacturing and
installation of traffic lights so as to minimize the risk of accidents.
Keeping in view the requirements, traffic simulation is to be
done.
Write a program in python that simulates a traffic light. The
program should perform the following.
(a) A user-defined function trafficLight() that accept from the
user , display an error message if the user enters anything
other the RED, YELLOW and GREEN. Function light( )
Is called and the following is displayed depending upon
return value from light():
(i) “STOP. Life is more important than speed” if the
Value returned by light() is 0.
(ii) ”PLEASE GO SLOW” if the value returned by
light() is 1.
(iii) “you may go now” if the value returned by light( ) is 2.

(b) A user-defined function light() that accepts a string as

input and returns 0 When the input is RED, 1 the input is
YELLOW and 2 when the input is GREEN. The input
should be passed as an argument.

(c) Display “BETTER LATE THAN NEVER” after the

Function trafficLight( ) is executed
