Class XII Informatics Practices www.vedantu.com 1

a. Can't change the index of the Series.
b. We can easily convert the list, tuple, and dictionary into a series
c. A Series represents a single column in memory.
d. We can create an empty Series.
Ans: List, Tuple & dictionary can easily be converted into series using
pd.Series(list or tuple or dictionary ). A single column in memory
means a series of 1d arrays which is valid. We can create an empty series with
just executing pd.Series( ).It is possible to change the index of the series even
after creation. Hence, the correct option is ‘a’.
2. What type of error is returned by the following statement?
import pandas as pa
pa. Series ([1,2,3,4], index = ['a', 'b', 'c'])

a. Value Error b. Syntax Error

c. Name Error d. Logical error

Ans: In the following statement, We are creating a series of 4 values but the
index is only 3 (a,b,c) which should be equal to the size of the series. So, it
will give a Value Error. the correct statement will be pa. Series ([1,2,3,4],
index = ['a', 'b', 'c', ‘d’]). Hence, the correct option is ‘a’.
3. Which is incorrect statement for the python package Numpy?
a. It is a general-purpose array-processing package.
b. Numpy arrays are faster and more compact
c. It is multi-dimensional arrays
d. It is proprietary software
Ans: Numpy is not a proprietary software. It is an open-source software and
has many contributors. you can use it freely by just importing into
your project using the syntax import numpy. Hence, the correct option
is ‘d’.
4. The data of any CSV file can be shown in which of the following
software?

Class XII Informatics Practices www.vedantu.com 2

 a. MS Word
b. Notepad
c. Spreadsheet
d. All of the above
Ans: A CSV (Comma Separated Value) file is a text file in which information
is separated by comma and can be opened in any program. All of the software
which is given in option use to open CSV file. Hence, the correct option is ‘d’.
5. Which python library is not used for data science?

a. Panda b. Numpy

c. Matplotlib d. Tkinter

Ans: Pandas, Numpy & matplotlib all of this library is used for data science
if assuming panda is a typographical error of pandas.Tkinter is a python
framework which is used to create GUIs(Graphical User Interface)
application. Hence, the correct option is ‘d’.
6.Which method is used to Delete row(s) from Data Frame?

a. .drop() method b. .del() method

c. .remove() method d. .delete() method

Ans: .drop( ) method is used to delete row(s) and column(s) from

DataFrame.row, column can be deleted using index label or column name by
using this method. Hence, the correct option is ‘a’.
7.Consider the following code:
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
L=np.array ([10,20])
X=pd. Series (_______) #statement 1
print (x)
output of the above code is:

Class XII Informatics Practices www.vedantu.com 3

 0 1000
1 8000
d type: int64
What is the correct statement for the above output in the following
statement 1?

a. d=L*3 b. data=L**3

c. L*3 d. [10,20]**3

Ans: 1000 and 8000 are the cube of 10 and 20 respectively. Finding the cube
of L array will give the 1000 of 10 and 8000 of 20. L **3 will find the cube of
each element of the array and return the cubed array. Hence, the correct option
is ‘b’.
8.Which library is imported to draw charts in Python?.

a. csv b. matplotlib

c. numpy d. pandas

Ans: Matplotlib library in Python imported to draw charts. csv is not a library,

44. Sudhanshu has written the following code to create a DataFrame
with Boolean index :
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame ( data = [ [ 5, 6, 7] ], index = [ true, false,
true ] )
print ( df )
While executing the code, she is getting an error, help her to
rectify the code :
a. df = pd.DataFrame([True, False, True], data=[5,6,7])
b. df = pd.DataFrame(data = [5,6,7], index = [True, False, True])
c. df = pd.DataFrame([true, false, true], data = [5, 6, 7])
d. df = pd.DataFrame(index = [true, false, true], data = [[5, 6, 7]] )
Ans: In python, ‘true’ and ‘false’ are not defined keywords, ‘True’ and ‘False’
are defined keywords T and F of True and False are in uppercase. Hence, the

Help her to correct the code

a. print(df.iloc[‘001’:’003’, :]) b. print(df.iloc[‘001’: ‘003’, :])

c. print(EMP[loc[0:3,:]]) d. print(df.loc[‘001’:’004’,:])

Ans: column names are in string format ( ‘001’ ) that is why when trying to
access it we have to reference it as it is not as integers. Hence, the correct
option is ‘b’.

 t = { ‘Rollno’ : [101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107],
‘Name’ : [‘Shubrato’, ‘Krishna’, ‘Pranshu’, ‘Gurpeet’, ‘Arpit’,
‘Sanidhya’, ‘Aurobindo’],
‘Age’: [15, 14, 14, 15, 16, 15, 16],
‘Marks’: [77.9, 70.4, 60.9, 80.3, 86.5, 67.7, 85.0],
‘Grade’ : [‘11B’, 11A’, ‘11B’, ‘11C’, ‘11E’, ‘11A’, ‘11C’]}
df = pd.DataFrame(t, index = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70])
print(df)
Output of the above code :

Roll no Name Age Marks Grade

10 101 Shubrato 15 77.9 11B
20 102 Krishna 14 70.4 11A
30 103 Pranshu 14 60.9 11B
40 104 Gurpreet 15 80.3 11C
50 105 Arpit 16 86.5 11E
60 106 Sanidhya 15 67.7 11A
70 107 Aurobindo 16 85.0 11C

Based on the given information, answer question No. 50 – 55.

 Name:20, dtype: object

a. print(df.iloc[2]) b. print(df.loc[2])

c. print(df.iloc[20]) d. print(df.loc[20])

Ans: loc[x] access a group of rows and columns by label(s) or a boolean

array.basically, loc[n] returns data at index n. Hence, the correct option is ‘d’.
51. The teacher wants to know the marks secured by the second last
student. Only which
statement would help her to get the correct answer ?

a. print (df.loc[60:70,’Marks’]) b. print(df.loc[60:60, ‘Marks’])

c. print(df.iloc[-2:-2],[Marks’]) d. print( df[-2:-2][‘Marks’])

Ans: df.loc[60:60,’Marks’] returns value at index 60 only of column Marks,

which is the
second last marks student. Hence, the correct option is ‘b’.
52. Which of the following statement(s) will add a new column ‘fee’ at
second position
with values [3200, 3400, 4500, 3100, 3200, 4000, 3700] in DataFrame
df?
a. df.insert(loc=2, column='fee’, value= [3200, 3400,
4500,3100,3200,4000, 3700]
b. df.add(2,column=’fee’,value = [3200, 3400, 4500, 3100, 3200, 4000,
3700])
c. df.append(loc=2,’fee’ = [3200, 3400, 4500, 3100, 3200, 4000, 3700]
d. df.insert(loc=2, ‘fee’,[3200, 3400, 4500, 3100, 3200, 4000, 3700])
Ans: Insert is a method of data frame class that allows the user to add a new
column at any given position in a dataframe or series. Hence, the correct
option is ‘a’.

53. Which of the following commands is used to delete the column
‘Grade’ in the dataFrame df ?
a. df.drop(‘Grade’, axis = 1, inplace=True)
b. df.drop(‘Grade’, axis = 0, inplace=True)
c. df.drop[‘Grade’, axis = 1, inplace= True]
d. df.delete(‘Grade’, axis=1,inplace=True)
Ans: pandas drop method is used to drop or remove a given column or row
from dataframe. by specifying the column axis, the drop() method removes the
specified column and by specifying the row axis, the drop() method removes
the specified row. Hence, the correct option is ‘a’.
54. Which of the following commands would rename the column ‘Marks’
to ‘Halfyearly’ in the DataFrame df ?
a. df.rename([‘Marks’,’Half Yearly’], inplace= True)
b. df.rename({‘Marks’,’Halfyearly’}, inplace=True)
c. df.rename(columns = {‘Marks’:’halfyearly’}, inplace= True)
d. df.rename([‘Marks’:’Halfyearly’], inplace=True)
Ans: rename is a method of dataframe class that can be used to rename an
existing column with a new name. Hence, the correct option is ‘c’.
55. Which of the following commands will display the Names and Marks
of all students getting more than 80 marks ?
a. print(df.loc[‘Marks’ > 80,[‘Name’,’Marks’]])
b. print(df.loc[df[‘Marks’] <80,‘Name’,’Marks’])
c. print(df.loc[df[‘Marks’] < 80,[‘Name’,’Marks’]])
d. print(df.loc[df[‘Marks’] > 80,[‘Name’,’Marks’]])
Ans: df[‘Marks’]>80 returns True only if the value is greater than 80 in the
Marks column, and loc method accepts a Boolean array and returns the value
only if array element is True. Hence, the correct option is ‘d’.
