QUESTION 3:

Consider the following piece of Python code. What is the output?

x = [4, 5, 6]
y = [str(x[0] + 1), str(len(x) * 2) + '&Code']
z = y[1].split('&')
print(z[1])

a) 5
b) 12
c) Code
d) &Code

Correct Answer: c. Code

Detailed Solution:
1. x = [4, 5, 6]: A list with three elements.
2. y = [str(x[0] + 1), str(len(x) * 2) + '&Code']:
 NPTEL Online Certification Courses
Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur

o x[0] is 4, so x[0] + 1 is 5, and str(x[0] + 1) becomes "5".

o len(x) is 3, so len(x) * 2 is 6, and str(len(x) * 2) + '&Code' becomes "6&Code".
o Therefore, y = ["5", "6&Code"].
3. z = y[1].split('&'):
o y[1] is "6&Code".
o Splitting "6&Code" by '&' gives ['6', 'Code'].
4. z[1] is 'Code'.
Thus, the print(z[1]) statement outputs Code.

QUESTION 13:

Data from an IoT device is transferred to cloud via a network, which is then processed at the cloud and

then a response is sent back to the IoT device from the cloud after processing. The time it takes for one-

way data transfer between the node and cloud is 10s and the data processing time at the cloud is ‘x’

seconds. It takes a total of 25s for the entire to and fro transfer of data between the sensor and cloud along

with processing at the cloud. What is the value of x?

a. 10s

b. 5s

c. 15s

d. 20s

Correct Answer: b. 5s

Detailed Solution: Time taken for one-way data transfer between the node and cloud is 10s. Total time

taken for the data transfer is 25s. So 25=10+x+10 (transfer from node to cloud+processing at

cloud+transfer from cloud to node). Thus x=5s.
