may vary.
23. Understanding the loop
• ANIMALS list indices:
Index Value
0 CAT
1 DOG
2 LION
3 TIGER
4 BEAR
• N = [Link](1,4)
So possible values of N: 1, 2, 3, 4.
The loop
for i in range(4, N, -1):
Means:
• Start at i = 4
• Go down to N + 1
• Step -1
So the values taken by i depend on N.
CASEWISE OUTPUT
CASE 1 → N = 1
range(4,1,-1) → i = 4,3,2
OUT = ANIMALS[4] + ANIMALS[3] + ANIMALS[2]
→ "BEAR" + "TIGER" + "LION"
Output: BEARTIGERLION
CASE 2 → N = 2
range(4,2,-1) → i = 4,3
OUT = "BEAR" + "TIGER"
Output: BEARTIGER
CASE 3 → N = 3
range(4,3,-1) → i = 4
OUT = "BEAR"
Output: BEAR
CASE 4 → N = 4
range(4,4,-1) → No values (empty loop)
OUT = ""
Output: (blank line)
Final Answer
Possible correct outputs are:
(i) BEARTIGERLION
(ii) BEARTIGER
(iii) BEAR

8 O
Index Letter
9 G
10 R
Slice: s[Link]
• Start at index 2 → T
• Go up to index 9 (10 excluded)
• Step by 2
So indices selected:
2, 4, 6, 8
Letters:
2→T
4→O
6→P
8→O
So output = "TOPO"

Characters:
1→#
4→t
7→n
10 → l
13 → i
16 → #
✔ Output:

b. dict_items([('brand', 'Tata'), ('year', 2023), ('model', 'Nexon')])
SECTION -C
List indexing
Index : Value
0 :5
1 : 12
2 :7
3 : 25
4 : 30
5 : 18
6 : 40
Loop
range(6, 0, -2) generates:
i = 6, 4, 2
We evaluate each iteration:
Iteration 1: i = 6
L[6] = 40 → even
So use:
x = x + str(L[i-1]) + "*"
L[5] = 18
x = "18*"
Iteration 2: i = 4
L[4] = 30 → even
So:
x = x + str(L[3]) + "*"
L[3] = 25
x = "18*25*"
Iteration 3: i = 2
L[2] = 7 → odd
So:
x = x + str(L[2]) + "@"
x = "18*25*7@"
Final Output
18*25*7@

31. i) Count customers per city:
• DELHI → Deepak, Mohan, Sahil, Sonal, Arun → 5 customers
• MUMBAI → Rohan, Neha → 2 customers
✔ Correct Output
CITY COUNT(*)
DELHI 5

ii) SELECT MIN(QTY), MAX(QTY) FROM CUSTOMER;
Customer QTY values:
20, 10, 5, 3, 7, 5, 15
• Minimum QTY = 3
• Maximum QTY = 20
✔ Output:
MIN(QTY) MAX(QTY)
3 20
iii. SELECT [Link], PRODUCTNAME FROM CUSTOMER,
COMPANY WHERE [Link] = [Link] AND
PRODUCTNAME = 'LAPTOP';
Step 1 → Identify PRODUCTNAME = 'LAPTOP'
From COMPANY table:
CID PRODUCTNAME
666 LAPTOP
Step 2 → Customers who purchased CID 666:
NAME CID QTY
Deepak Kumar 666 10
Arun Singh 666 15
✔ Output
CNAME PRODUCTNAME
DEEPAK KUMAR LAPTOP
ARUN SINGH LAPTOP
