17 Assertion(A): List is an immutable data type [1]
Reasoning(R): When an attempt is made to update the value of an immutable variable, the old
variable is destroyed and a new variable is created by the same name in memory.
18 Assertion(A): The keys of the dictionaries must be unique. [1]
Reason(R): The keys of a dictionary can be accessed using values.
