29 Navdeep creates a table RESULT with a set of records to maintain the 3
marks secured by students in Sem1, Sem2, Sem3, and their divisions.
After the creation of the table, he entered data of 7 students in the
table.
ADNO ROLLNO SNAME SEM1 SEM2 DIVISION

181 107 NEELAM 470 450 I

Based on the data given above answer the following questions:

i Identify the columns which can be considered as candidate
keys?
ii If 2 more columns are added and 3 rows are deleted from the
table result, what will be the new degree and cardinality of the
above table?
iii Write a statement to increase the SEM2 marks by 3% for the
students securing marks between 70 to 100.
30 Given a Dictionary Stu_dict containing marks of students for three 3
test-series in the form Stu_ID:(TS1, TS2, TS3) as key-value pairs.
Write a Python program with the following user-defined functions to
perform the specified operations on a stack named Stu_Stk

(i) Push_elements(Stu_Stk, Stu_dict) : It allows pushing

IDs of those students, from the dictionary Stu_dict into the stack
Stu_Stk, who have scored more than or equal to 80 marks in the TS3
Test.
(ii) Pop_elements(Stu_Stk): It removes all elements present
inside the stack in LIFO order and prints them. Also, the function
displays 'Stack Empty' when there are no elements in the stack.
Call both functions to execute queries.

For example:
If the dictionary Stu_dict contains the following data:
Stu_dict ={5:(87,68,89), 10:(57,54,61), 12:(71,67,90),
14:(66,81,80), 18:(80,48,91)}

After executing Push_elements(), Stk_ID should contain

[5,12,14,18]

After executing Pop_elements(), The output should be:

18
14
12
5
Stack Empty

about products using tuple with the structure (ProductID,
ProductName, Quantity, Price). Write a Python function
expensiveProducts() to read the contents of
'INVENTORY.DAT' and display details of products with a price
higher than Rs. 1000. Additionally, calculate and display the total
count of such expensive products.

For example: If the file stores the following data in binary format
(1, 'ABC', 100, 5000)
(2, 'DEF', 250, 1000)
(3, 'GHI', 300, 2000)
