SECTION – B (2 Marks each)
Q20. Assertion–Reason: Assertion (A): Python supports both procedural and
object-oriented programming. Reason (R): Python does not allow defining user-defined
functions.
Q21. Assertion–Reason: Assertion (A): Lists in Python are ordered and mutable. Reason
(R): Once a list is created, it cannot be modified.
Q22. Find the error in the following code:
list1 = [10, 20, 30]
print(list1[3])
Q23. Write any two built-in functions of lists with examples.
Q24. Predict the output:
list1 = [1,2,3,4,5]
print(list1[1:4])
print(len(list1))
