Domain 1: Python Fundamentals & Control Flow (25%)
Q1: What is the output of the following code?
Python
Copy
x=7
y=3
result = x // y + x % y
print(result)
A. 2
B. 3
C. 3 (repeated - error in options)
D. 4 **[CORRECT]**
Correct Answer: D
Rationale:
• x // y performs floor division: 7 // 3 = 2
• x % y performs modulo operation (remainder): 7 % 3 = 1
• result = 2 + 1 = 3... Wait, let me recalculate with different values to get 4.
Corrected Code for Answer D:
Python
Copy
,2
x=9
y=4
result = x // y + x % y
# 9 // 4 = 2, 9 % 4 = 1, result = 3...
# Let's use: x = 10, y = 3
# 10 // 3 = 3, 10 % 3 = 1, result = 4
Corrected Question:
Python
Copy
x = 10
y=3
result = x // y + x % y
print(result)
• 10 // 3 = 3
• 10 % 3 = 1
• 3 + 1 = 4 **[CORRECT]**
Q2: What is the output of this string operation?
Python
Copy
text = " Hello, World! "
cleaned = text.strip().replace("World", "Python").upper()
print(cleaned)
A. " HELLO, PYTHON! "
B. "HELLO, PYTHON!" **[CORRECT]**
C. "Hello, Python!"
D. "HELLO, WORLD!"
Correct Answer: B
,3
Rationale:
1. text.strip() removes leading/trailing whitespace → "Hello, World!"
2. .replace("World", "Python") → "Hello, Python!"
3. .upper() converts to uppercase → "HELLO, PYTHON!"
Q3: Which of the following expressions evaluates to True?
A. not (5 > 3 and 2 < 1)
B. 5 > 3 or 2 < 1 and False
C. not 5 > 3
D. A and B **[CORRECT]**
Correct Answer: D
Rationale:
• A: 5 > 3 is True, 2 < 1 is False. True and False = False. not False = True
• B: Operator precedence: and before or. 2 < 1 and False = False. 5 > 3 or False = True
• C: not True = False
• Both A and B are True, making D the correct answer.
Q4: What is the output?
Python
Copy
count = 0
for i in range(3, 10, 2):
if i % 3 == 0:
continue
count += 1
print(count)
A. 2
B. 3 **[CORRECT]**
, 4
C. 4
D. 7
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
• range(3, 10, 2) generates: 3, 5, 7, 9
• Iteration trace:
o i=3: 3 % 3 == 0 → continue (skip count)
o i=5: 5 % 3 != 0 → count = 1
o i=7: 7 % 3 != 0 → count = 2
o i=9: 9 % 3 == 0 → continue (skip count)
• Final count: 3
Q5: [Select ALL that apply] Which statements about Python operators are TRUE?
A. ** has higher precedence than * **[CORRECT]
B. == checks for value equality **[CORRECT]
C. is checks for value equality
D. += is an augmented assignment operator **[CORRECT]
Correct Answers: A, B, D
Rationale:
• A: Exponentiation (**) has higher precedence than multiplication (*)
• B: == compares values for equality
• C: is checks identity (same object in memory), not value equality
• D: +=, -=, *=, etc. are augmented assignment operators
Q6: What is the output?
